Henry De Bromhead puts a 7lb claimer up on Due Reward which allows Rachael Blackmore to ride ACT OF GOD for Edward O'Grady. He hasn't been seen since landing a Cork handicap last July but that was his first start since January and he won first-time-out for the stable in 2019. Humaniste also represents the yard and his close third behind Wonder Laish and Mt Leinster at Killarney in August puts him in the picture. Clondaw Secret won a point in December 2019 and made a successful hurdling debut at Navan a year later but he's disappointed in his next two starts. Take All scored on heavy ground at Cork and was disputing the lead in similar conditions here in March when falling at the last while Bridge Native won five times last year, four of them over fences, and is 16lb lower over timber. Great Bear ran a tremendous race when fourth in a Grade A handicap at Fairyhouse early last month, form that would put him in the frame for this.
