Samantha Jones has shown potential and can fight it out for a place as DYSART DANCER and Kerryhead Storm look the ones to beat. The former showed the benefit of a promising opening run at Punchestown with a smooth victory in a Downpatrick bumper in May and with a jumps pedigree should be up to making a winning start over hurdles. Kerryhead Storm showed that he handles very testing conditions with an excellent effort behind Mallowney at Ballinrobe and that experience should enable him to give the selection a scare.
