Amaulino once looked a promising chaser but lost his way and went point-to-pointing, scoring at Belharbour in February. He ran well at Downpatrick in March and Shane O'Callaghan's claim is a plus. Winning hurdler Ragnar Lodbrok looked one to follow over fences when runner-up at Punchestown on New Year's Eve but has proved very disappointing. Having won once and been placed seven times in ten starts over fences PAT COYNE deserves another victory and looks the one to beat providing the ground doesn't turn testing. He had the favourite Siberian Star behind when runner-up at Tramore and there doesn't appear to be a reason for a form reversal. Ask Cory may prove next best.
