Gigginstown have four entries, three of them newcomers under Rules, so Sir Carno may prove best of them as he will have found the minimum too short on his hurdling bow at Cork. Burrows Saint had half-a-dozen runs in France, the last two over fences, and looks a chaser in the making, but Flawless Escape should have no problems making the transition to hurdles after an impressive bumper victory at Roscommon. EAMON HIGH made a fine start to his career when just failing to find extra in the closing stages on heavy ground at Wexford. He'll have come on markedly for the run and will take some beating. Joseph O'Brien could have another smart prospect on his hands in Triplicate, who won two out of three in the summer of last year when trained at Ballydoyle.
