The Ballyboys is on a long losing run but has won twice around here on testing ground and can't be dismissed. Rightback Atya was a 50/1 chance when runner-up to Lagenod at Fairyhouse and a big run from the winner in the previous race will be an obvious boost to his chances. MOYODE LADY is still a maiden but looked as though this sort of trip was required when staying on over 2m4f at Newcastle and she's on such a lowly mark that an opening victory beckons. The veteran Sir Ector, six times a winner on the Flat, is 2-38 over hurdles and followed a very good run at Down Royal with a poor effort at Punchestown.
