This should prove a walk in the park for TAMMYS HILL, who twice beat Salsify before narrowly beaten by the Cheltenham winner at Leopardstown. He was racing over a trip too short when behind Warne here in February and should get back on the winning trail. Russian Regent did well to land a hunter chase at Down Royal as he was impeded at a crucial stage but was a long way behind Tammys Hill at Wexford earlier. Carsonstown Boy was also behind the selection at Down Royal in December though he arrives in good form having won a point at Maralin last month.
