Irish raiders HEADS UP and Welonlyhavedone both look very promising and they could be the pair to concentrate on. Marginal preference is for the former, who tables the best piece of bumper form courtesy of his second in the Champion Bumper here in March and he barely put a foot wrong on debut in this sphere at Listowel. Welonlyhavedone is unlucky not to be 2-2 over hurdles and he's greatly respected. No Drama This End could be the pick of the home team ahead of Great Fleet.
