Grangeclare Pearl, who is related to numerous winners, has looked too one-paced for bumpers and should do much better over hurdles but it's about time DESERTMORE STREAM was winning under Rules. Philip Fenton's charge, the easy winner of a point-to-point, has come up against a couple of decent performers in his last two starts and would be unlucky to come up against another. Tobar Na Gaoise has run 10 times over hurdles and has some strong form but he didn't make much impression on his return from a long absence at Navan last month and may need another run. Jim Dreaper's winning point-to-pointer Lord Fingal will love the conditions and will be staying on at the finish, though should be better over further. Flowerpicker may do best of the remainder.
