A very poor bumper to round off the night's action and Sultans Of Swing was beaten 25l when runner-up in a point at Dromahane in April. Benefit Of Porter has one good run - on this track in September 2008 - to his credit but has hardly picked his feet up since so it's the two newcomers who attract attention by default. Nina Carberry's presence on My Brother Pat is a bonus though her mount should do better over obstacles in time but Colm Murphy's STELLAR STAR is the second foal of a mare who's first is a winning bumper and she may be good enough to keep up the family record.
