Minella On Line chased home the veteran cross-country performer Josies Order over this trip at Cork with Ellipsism close up in third and the places should be confirmed though the latter has won around here. Justbecool makes a quick reappearance after a placed effort at Tramore on Sunday though he was beaten a long way. Bloodstone has been well beaten in handicaps after showing promise in maiden company but it's about time PICTURES OF HOME (NAP) was winning. Ted Walsh' charge couldn't quite get to the winner over 2m4f on testing ground at Gowran and is untried on good going but should have some improvement in him and this looks his opportunity.
