Enda Bolger’s pair, Auvergnat and Josies Orders, are having a rare run over regulation fences but both stay well. Swingbridge has placed at Perth and Punchestown since returning from a break but Consharon Boy hasn’t run since only beaten half-a-length at Fairyhouse in December. Scoir Mear won at Navan in March but that was on soft going and conditions here may be a little lively. WALK TO FREEDOM was never travelling before unseating Robbie Power at Punchestown nine days ago but is better than that and it may be significant that he’s turned out again quickly. Uisce Beatha is only a six-year-old but has no form over a trip this far.
