Tristram Shandy is the only distance winner in the line-up and was in very good form last summer scoring twice at Tipperary. If ready after a break since October he would have to be a threat to all. NED'S ISLAND (NAP) make a quick reappearance after finishing third of four at Down Royal on Monday which came just three weeks after his victory at Tramore. He's in good heart and with Paul Townend booked looks the one to be on. Coolnagorna Giggs reverted to hurdles on a lower mark at Kilbeggan last month and though not quite managing to take advantage ran well enough to suggest he should be winning soon while the lightly-raced Tranquil Magic has shown enough to suggest she has the scope to do better.
