Misty's Gift has won bumpers here and at Listowel and has run some good races over timber, though ran poorly on his first start over this trip here last month. Japers Jack finished runner-up in the latter event and is ideally suited by the trip but LISNAGAR FORTUNE (NAP) looks the one to beat. A bumper winner at last year's Punchestown Festival, he didn't reappear until New Year's Day at Fairyhouse where he couldn't handle Cardoman Hill, who was receiving 8lb, though a bad mistake two out didn't aid his cause. Present Soldier, a winning point-to-pointer, steps up to this trip and looks certain to be suited as does winning bumper Gold Bullion, placed in a huge field of maidens at Punchestown last month.
