Denis Hogan does well with former point-to-pointers so recent Killeagh winner Moskovite is respected. Western Victory won a point in December and reverts to a bumper after a reasonable run over hurdles at Gowran. Aoibhe's Beau scored at Ballindenisk in December but was well beaten on her bumper debut at Limerick while Jamie Codd's mount Kilbarry Calling ran poorly at Punchestown after a fair debut at Fairyhouse. In such a desperate affair it may be worth taking a chance on a newcomer and Derek O'Connor's presence on WHAT A BENEFIT catches the eye. His mount is a full-sister to the Grade 1-winning chaser Benefficient and wouldn't need to have anything like his ability to make a successful debut.
