Katie Walsh gets the ride on All For Joy, who started favourite when landing a point at Oldcastle in April though only just held on. Gun Digger attempted to make all when favourite at Galway last month but was soon done with when headed while MAD CAREW couldn't handle Imperial Way when strongly fancied at Wexford. However, better is expected of Noel Meade's charge and he can go one better though Rio Vervas has joined Willie Mullins after a couple of placed efforts between the flags in the spring so is obviously one to keep an eye on.
