CALICOJACK was returning from a very long break when failing to concede 7lb to Bang Bang Rosie at Punchestown last month and with that under his belt will take some beating. I Am Sailing started odds-on for a point at Lingstown three weeks ago but looked beaten when left in the lead at the last while Cut Em Down was struggling when falling at the second last at Ballynoe in April. Defi Bleu couldn't handle the winner at Oldtown in February when starting odds-on but cost 255,000 euros and his dam has produced winning jumpers with her first three offspring.
