Most of these have run between the flags including ASSEMBLE, runner-up at Oldtown in February before a couple of reasonable bumper runs. Cobbler's Way just failed to overhaul the winner at Dromahane in April and has his first start for the in-form Henry De Bromhead but another runner-up from the same track, Southern Nights, was beaten a long way in a Punchestown bumper in April. La Tektor is one to note in the market but a chance is taken with MC ALPINE under Jamie Codd as Paul Rothwell's charge is related to some smart winners and this shouldn't take much winning.
