Pope Liam should improve for his run at Clonmel while Ruleout was staying on nicely at Roscommon and will appreciate the easier ground conditions. WHISPERING GYPSY improved from her debut to run well in a decent Down Royal bumper and further progress can see her take this. Living's Boy An Co has only run in points and over hurdles but his stable is going well while Indigo Breeze, a 25-length winner between the flags at Alnwick in March, has joined Gordon Elliott and would be very difficult to beat if getting a run from his reserve spot. Salt Wind won a point at Brandon in March and wouldn't need to be anything special to make a successful start under Rules.
