Banner Rebel has a nice pedigree and made an impressive start between the flags at Dromahane while Doyen Dancer battled to a debut success on the same track. The Brass Man started a short-priced favourite on his debut at Tattersalls Farm but didn't come up to expectations so the vote goes to GROODY ROVER, who was well supported at Kildorrery in February and came home well clear under today's rider.
