Competitive finale' with any one of six bumper starters in with a big chance of landing the spoils. Newcomers like the Willie Mullins-trained Redfield is sure to have his supporters, while Joseph O'Brien's well-bred €42,000 purchase Vinnie The Hoddie is sure to have been well-prepped on debut with Derek O'Connor in the plate. Two Shoe Tom with Katie Walsh up and the Gordon Elliott-trained Hammerstein are worth market checks. Experience could be vital here with Eagle Rock looking to improve on two runner-up positions but could find opposition from the promising YOUNG TED for the Noel Meade/Nina Carberry combination.

- Eagle Roque
