Silver Turtle ran a race full of promise at Kilbeggan last May and her stable in in fine form so a long absence may not be too much of a problem. Naturally Blond did better when stepped up to three miles in a Cork handicap so could find this on the short side but the trip looks just right for Bosco Di Alco, a winning bumper and placed four times over timber. Novano, a winner on the Flat in Germany, showed his first sign of ability over hurdles at Limerick though steps up in trip so the vote goes to SENEWALK. A winner on the Flat in France, he appeared to find three miles too far at Punchestown and this is likely to be his trip for the time being.
