Verdict
Enumerater looked as though he needed a longer trip when runner-up at Limerick while Ebazziyr was undone by heavy ground at Leopardstown and conditions won't be much better here. Rathpatrick, a bumper winner over 2m4f, is another who could do with a longer trip and BAILY CLOUD's close second to Nichols Canyon at Cork is the stand-out form. He also ran very well behind an odds-on chance at Leopardstown last time so looks the one to be on. Oscar Knight showed potential in bumpers and hasn't performed badly over timber so could reach a place.
