Verdict
Willie Mullins continues to dominate bumpers so his newcomer Des Res, who hails from a very strong jumping family, looks sure to make his presence felt. However, LEAN TIMES showed with a very good effort behind Fantasy King at Punchestown that there is a bumper race in him and he gets the vote for Noel Meade and Nina Carberry. Glenstar has been finding the ground too quick and will appreciate better conditions here while winning point-to-pointer Duty Dance stumbled and almost fell at Limerick last time so the run is best ignored. If there is to be a surprise then Realta Rathcabhain may be the one to provide it as he looked inexperienced on his debut at Navan in March but was noted staying on nicely.
