Stocktons Wing looked potentially high class when landing a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse last February but couldn't cope at the very highest level later. He has a long absence to overcome but can make his presence felt. Drumlee had been threatening to win a race before landing a maiden here. He makes his handicap debut in a tougher contest but should still get involved and can take care of Glen Beg and Wooly Tom, who were just in front of him at Naas in January. Tobar Na Gaoise hasn't run since last May but would have every chance if ready though the vote goes to SIR ECTOR. Jimmy Lambe's charge, a winner on the Flat at Leopardstown when last seen in November, appeared to get better on the level last summer and looks on a handy mark.
