The mare Ifeoinly, four-times a winner between the flags, was making her debut over regulation fences when scoring at Cork last month and her allowance is a major plus. Jezarus is turned out quickly after landing the Bishopscourt Cup at Punchestown last week while Along Long Story made a winning debut in this sphere at Thurles in March. Clonmeen, an easy winner at Lisronagh in March, attempted to make all on his hunter-chase debut at Cork last month and was in the lead when a bad mistake two out put paid to his chances. He was still only four lengths behind ITS ON THE LINE at the finish but the latter looks a progressive type and can confirm the form and complete a double.
