Rough Times and De Bartishell are reserves but both would have chances if getting a run. However, it's about time SEADER was losing his maiden tag and Jessica Harrington's charge, who was a big disappointment at Gowran last time, reverts to the minimum trip and his overall form, especially when narrowly beaten by Great Value in a huge field at Punchestown, looks too strong for these rivals. Minella King went 14 starts between the flags without winning and though running quite well over 2m4f at Wexford last time he surely needs further than this. Simon Says is bred to be a decent jumper so the fact that he showed a little ability in bumpers is a bonus.
