Verdict
Corran Cross landed a point at Tinahely a year ago and probably came up against a smart one when making his bumper debut at Downpatrick. Mercury Lane belied his 33/1 SP with a fine run at Wexford where he might have finished closer but for being impeded. Angels Dawn has improved with every run and should get competitive but Willie Mullins has saddled a dozen bumper winners this campaign and JUNGLE BOOGIE, who is bred to be a stayer, will relish the conditions and can make a successful debut.
