Out Sam's last victory was in the Cork National in November 2018 and he was racing in cross-country races last season. He's on his lowest ever mark and it wouldn't be a shock to see him make a comeback in this company. All The Chimneys very rarely runs beyond 2m, where he's won most of his races, but RIVIERA SUN prefers a bit further nowadays despite having won over the course and distance. However, conditions should make this a stamina test and Henry De Bromhead's charge can take this. Nobody Home has also won around here and arrives off a very good run over the track and trip last month, his first start since January, so he looks the main threat. Brogine was engaged in a Listed race over hurdles at Limerick yesterday.
