Supreme Bob probably just needed his comeback run here last month and should do better today. He'll be vying for a place along with Saddlers Luck, who hinted at ability when fifth over C&D on his racecourse debut. BUACHAILL ALAINN won a point-to-point at Monksgrange in April and the runner-up has already won twice over hurdles in England. He'll enjoy the ground and can hold off Willie Mullins' newcomer Perfect Gentleman, who is by leading sire King's Theatre and looks sure to be winning in the near future.
