250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 7 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

10/11

Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, second of 12 in bumper at Leopardstown (20f, soft) 34 days ago. Showed an excellent attitude against a promising rival last time, and should be able to open his account.

5/4

Walk In The Park gelding. Dam maiden pointer, out of half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Killultagh Storm. Solid claims for a yard that has cleaned up in bumpers this season.

Santonito (10/11), Seabank Bistro (5/4), Western Walk (10/1), Desertmore House (18/1), Battle Frontier (22/1), Katherine (33/1), Unheralded (50/1), Sammy Smart (66/1), Merry Moves (80/1), Wee Jerry (80/1), Archie Hall (150/1), Castlenagree (200/1), Busty Boy (250/1), Vairue (250/1), Athagabhain (250/1)

SANTONITO made the well-touted Embassy Gardens pull out all the stops at Leopardstown a month ago and is unlikely to bump into one of that one's calibre in this, so he's an obvious choice to get off the mark at the third attempt. Seabank Bistro merits respect as Willie Mullins' representative and point winner Desertmore House is also of some inter3st.
