Most of these are out of form and though Vischio was placed at Gowran she was beaten 30 lengths. Slainte And Thanks is the only distance winner but has been running poorly since scoring at Tipperary last June and is still 5lb higher. Elite Des Mottes doesn't appear to be over her jumping problems judging by her error-strewn round at Limerick last month but at least she managed to complete the course and should have had a confidence-boost which may be good enough for this. However, MASTER CORNWALL put some poor efforts behind him when staying on strongly into third over the minimum trip on his handicap debut at Tramore and normal progress can see him off the mark.
