Verdict

Monstrosity wasn't fancied on his debut at Killarney in May but ran well enough and will have come on for the experience. Gun Digger hasn't run since second in a point-to-point at Largy in April of last year but has to be considered under Jamie Codd, though it's GALLAHERS CROSS who looks the one to be on. He attracted strong support on Punchestown's point-to-point course in February and was impressive so Katie Walsh can steer him home. Piece A Cake won between the flags at Tralee in May and is one to keep an eye on.
