FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Recent winners Loup De Tallane and Calahill are sure to have plenty of supporters in this competitive affair. The former is one of three chasing debutants in the line-up, while the point-to-point winning latter has plenty of experience over the larger obstacles to his name. Admirable veterans Greenway Machine and Smitty Bacall both look to have solid claims, while Ocodango Boy is another capable of making his presence felt. For a selection, it might be worth siding with the locally-trained ROCK ON PEDRO. The subject of market support when a close fifth on his fourth try over fences at Wexford last month, he is open to further improvement. A dual winner when in the care of Michael Hourigan junior, The Holmeister is another of interest on his debut for Eoin McCarthy.
