Mr Diablo ran reasonably on his debut over hurdles in January then reverted to a bumper on this track in May and won virtually as he pleased. He could be a nice prospect for hurdling. Texas Tea had three runs over timber early this year and performed with credit in all of them so he's likely to be in the mix here though this looks one for Dessie Hughes. Total Recall has his first start under Rules after landing a point-to-point at Rathmorrissey in March but will probably do better over further so WRATH OF TITANS looks the one to be on. A winning point-to-pointer and bumper, he was well supported in all three runs over hurdles at the turn of the year and though slightly disappointing there was every indication of more to come and this isn't the toughest of maidens. Eshtiaal, a decent handicapper for Brian Meehan on the Flat, will have come on for his opening run over timber at Cork and could provide the main threat.
