Winning point-to-pointer Bar Stool Bob ran into some strong opposition earlier in the year and performed with credit so has to be on the shortlist despite a long absence. MM DAZZLER showed some potential between the flags and made a bright start under Rules when runner-up to Western Boy in a Thurles bumper last month. Normal progress can see him successful. Monte Wildhorn ran well behind Massini's Brook at Clonmel when Montys Meadow was just behind and that pair can make their mark while Molly's Affair showed enough last season to get involved if ready after a break. Arctic Wolf should improve and looks best of the remainder.
