There are some talented novices on show here, including two five-year-olds from Ireland. Casey Jem’s only failure so far came when he fell on his debut at Ballindenisk in December. He made an impressive debut under Rules at Cork and there should be plenty more to come so he’s preferred to Winged Leader. But KALABALOO is fancied to keep the prize at home if she reproduces her run at Cheltenham, where she trounced the useful Theatre Territory by 15 lengths with the rest in another parish. Pink Eyed Pedro has got his act together but Law Of Gold is making his debut under Rules so is best watched.
