Powersbomb is penalised for his victory in a Sligo bumper on good ground and his two runs over timber haven't produced much but winning point-to-pointer Ballyadeen is the type to do better with a likely stiff test of stamina here. GOULANE CHOSEN had been making steady progress before a fine run behind the strongly fancied Russian Bill at Naas. Today's longer trip will be in his favour and he can see off the challenge of Speed Demon, who ran his best race so far behind Snow Falcon at Navan. Pros 'N' Cons ran an excellent race when runner-up in a big field over the course and distance in November but hasn't been seen since beaten a distance a month later. Apache Park is a newcomers to Rules worth a market check.
