Verdict
Ballykeel is a good jumper but has had six starts over fences and looks vulnerable to an improver. SALMANINO (NAP) fits the bill as he made all for a comfortable success on heavy ground at Punchestown. Carrolls Cottage is easily the most experienced of these but is 0-15 over fences while Alko Rouge has been beaten a long way in his last three starts. Brideswell Lad won handicaps at Limerick and Wexford last summer and was returning from a break over a trip much too short here last month so could provide the main threat.
