Montalbano hasn't had much experience and is weighted to the hilt though gives the impression that there will be more to come. His stable companion Townshend was behind him at Punchestown last time and looks held while Attribution has done better in small fields and has a long absence to overcome. The latter's stable companion A RATED ran a superb race behind the very progressive Kemboy at Punchestown on just his fifth start over the bigger obstacles. He's up 4lb but should be good enough to see off Rock On Fruity, who was in good form last summer but hasn't run since October. Coeur Joyeux's second to Cadmium in a Grade B handicap at Punchestown was his best-ever run and he's only 2lb higher so he has to be on the short-list.
