Tony Martin has three entries with new recruit Vultan possibly the best of them despite a long absence as he's smart on the Flat and landed a Gowran maiden hurdle by 12 lengths in October. Stablemate Niburu won on the Flat at Fairyhouse earlier this month so is greatly respected. ZOFFANIEN just gets the vote as he was well supported at Killarney and was going on very strongly at the finish but it's a long time since a four-year-old won this and Lunar Power looks up against it despite having run well in Grade 1-2 company in the spring. Wild Shot has been in excellent form on the Flat and over timber and may not have finished yet while Magnor Glory battled on to score at Killarney and a 7lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.
