Lacken Bridge rates a very interesting contender on rules bow, given his consistent profile in the point-to-point sphere and in market confidence in his bid would prove noteworthy. Mannin Island may have needed a recent run at Limerick and could do better here while similar comments apply to De Name Escapes Me, who should prove much better than his Gowran Park reappearance. Carrig Cathal was about the best of these over hurdles and has to be noted on chase bow for the in-form Elliott yard but CLOSE SHAVE already looks a better chaser than he was hurdler and if he can take another step forward as he did between his two recent Galway outings over fences, his experience could be telling under Barry Geraghty.
