A few in with a shout here but it could pay to side with hurdling-newcomer VINTAGE PROSECCO who is in excellent hands and looked a useful prospect when a sparkling bumper winner at Limerick last month. Clonmel-third Gelee Blanche is much respected for the in-form Willie Mullins yard while Feelgood Island can make his presence felt too if none the worse for his late Clonmel fall.
