Winning point-to-pointer Quenzo Pierji has run well enough in bumpers to suggest he can do well over timber but this looks a stronger than usual maiden. Dual winning bumper Presenting Nana made a fine start over hurdles when a close third behind Ross Na Righ at Killarney and with more improvement likely looks certain to go close but he has to concede 8lb to Eyre Apparent and ORDINARY MAN and that may prove beyond him. The former just failed to hold Alderwood over 2m6f at Killarney but was in the lead at this trip and will make a bold bid, but it's the latter who gets the vote as he produced some fine efforts at the backend of last year and wasn't beaten far on his final start in a very tough handicap at Cork won by Ainama.
