Flemensfirth gelding out of a Saddler's Hall mare related to national hunt winners including Tidal Bay, The Last Samuri and Imperial Commander. Won as he liked on second time of asking at Thurles last month.
Impressive on debut under rules when successful in a Clonmel on soft-to-heavy bumper in November at Clonmel. Likely to go head to head with Clinton Hill at the finish.
Scorpion gelding out of a Tirol mare related to the likes of Might Bite and Don't Touch It. Beaten 21L on debut in a Naas bumper and likely to struggle once again.
Flemensfirth gelding out of a Saddlers' Hall mare related to the likes of Waiting Patiently and Joe Lively. Worth a market check given yard like a winner at this meeting.
Daughter of Daylami out of a Dr Massini mare related to the likes of Zaynar and Pigeon Island but likely to struggle here on rules debut.
Forecasts
Clinton Hill (5/6), Warlike Intent (9/4), Alpine Cobra (9/2), Kelp Forest (14/1), Our Marvmichael (25/1), Knockfierna Hill (100/1), The Secret One (100/1)
An intriguing in what should be a match with possible front runner Warlike Intent who may eventually set the race up for the improving CLINTON HILL from the Willie Mullins yard. Both geldings won their last races in impressive style and both look nice prospects for the future.
