The booking of Ruby Walsh for YOUNG FINNEGAN catches the eye and the impressive Cork bumper winner is taken to gain his first hurdling success despite a penalty as he looked a very smart prospect in the testing conditions. He has to concede a lot of weight to Turica, which won't be easy as Henry De Bromhead's mare has been going well on heavy ground and her allowances will aid her cause. Texas Rose has shown promise over further which will stand her in good stead in these conditions while Pure Style has joined Charles Byrnes after victories between the flags and in two bumpers. Popmurphy has been placed six times in eight starts over timber and ran really well behind a useful winner here last time.
