The pleasing form figures of Barton Snow have all been achieved in the pointing sphere so he's best watched here, especially dropping down a mile in trip. Lily's Choice placed in her two points-to-points last year and has since joined the champion trainer who does very well here with a select number of runners. She's obviously one to note very carefully and the market should reflect expectations of the Mullins camp. However, this is her Rules debut and she's taken on with ROYAL MOON. The Imperial Monarch gelding has shown promise over timber and also in a useful bumper at Thurles won by Nick Rockett. He sets a fair standard. Western Flyer is a winning pointer and ran okay last time but will need to improve.
