Seven last-time-out winners here including Dont Go yet, who was having only his fourth start over fences when winning with plenty in hand at Navan in March. Clonbury Bridge was well supported for his handicap debut over fences at Downpatrick and duly obliged though had earlier been narrowly beaten by Broken Ice in a beginners' race at Sligo. Majavango makes his handicap debut over the bigger obstacles having landed a beginners' race at Tramore by 15 lengths. Dual hurdles winner Sir Bob has run fifteen times over fences without scoring but the vote goes to the five-year-old HAPPY DREAMS, who might have won but for falling at Tipperary then won easily at Limerick.
