In depth
Verdict
Dermot Weld generally has a useful bumper or two and NEW RULES fits the bill. A short-priced favourite when disappointing at Galway last July, he should do better on this much quicker ground and has scope for plenty of improvement. Page Turner made a pleasing debut behind Caesar's Song at Limerick last month and will have benefited from the run but Charlie Swan's newcomer Return To Kansas is very much jump-bred and will do better when facing obstacles.
