AL BOUM PHOTO is an exciting stayer who beat a small but talented field on his return at Tramore. The seven-year-old is still unexposed, particularly at this trip and is expected to go close for a yard bidding for their 10th win in the race. Road To Respect is a proven performer at this level and he makes most appeal from the Gigginstown runners while Anibale Fly can't be ruled out after a stellar season last year.
