Light Brigade couldn't get close to the winner at Gowran in January but should improve and get into contention. Ultra Viers may not have appreciated heavy ground at Punchestown and can do better as can Cool Petra, who was impeded in the same race. Land Jet has a fine pedigree for jumping fences so a chance is taken on KAPARD, a E70,000 purchase from a high-class French family. The market should provide clues to the chances of others in a tricky finale.
