MISS PALM finished third to Foritsa, who runs in the opener, at Wexford then went to Tramore and beat the runner-up. That was only her fifth start over fences and she's capable of better despite her age so gets the vote. Mr Bb ran well in three quick races in April and though behind Lord Alfie at Fairyhouse he looks to have more scope than the winner. Winning point-to-pointer Mr Shankly scored over hurdles in March and will be better for last month's run over fences at Cork. Code Dancer started favourite at Fairyhouse last time but a bad error put paid to his chances while recent point-to-point winner Witness Of Fashion was fortunate as he was only third when two rivals departed at the second last.
