GIANT'S QUEST is the definite form pick on his runs in the spring at Leopardstown and Down Royal and should be given another chance after a moderate effort at Punchestown. Bran Castle could be capable of better while King Of Hawks won a point-to-point at Dromahane last April and is worth noting in the market. Exit Starkey could prove best of Adrian Maguire's pair as he's mainly bred for the Flat while Garryowen Oscar showed improved form at Limerick on Sunday and wouldn't need to progress much to make the frame here.
