This is a tough race to fathom and would be even harder if either of the reserves, Couleur France or Casino Markets, were to get involved. As it stands, THE MIGHTY MILAN gets a very tentative vote after his shocking run at Naas last month where he started long odds-on but was never travelling. His previous run in a Grade 3 at Tipperary is the stand-out form and, hopefully, he'll bounce back. Elsie makes her hurdling debut and Tom Mullins' very promising bumper makes a quick reappearance after last week's run at Navan. Run With The Tide showed plenty of promise on his introduction in February and he'll be expected to make progress this season as will Upazo, who didn't make the expected impression for Willie Mullins last term after arriving from France with winning form. The likes of Frontline and hurdling newcomer Little Rocky are others to consider.
