Eirland was making his debut over timber when a very good third to Steele's Rock at Gowran and another half-mile here should be enough for him to make his presence felt. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper He's A Delight is another who looks certain to be suited by this trip and rates a threat as do Boland's Corner, blinkered for the first time and better in today's conditions, and Pride Of The Artic, who followed a victory between the flags by landing a Naas bumper. EYRE APPARENT will take plenty of beating having made fine progress this year with his second to Bog Warrior at Cork last month looking the best recent form on offer.
