Owner J P McManus has four entries here and Mark Walsh rides Drop The Anchor, who won a Listowel bumper in September and will have benefited from his opening run over timber here in December. Pont Aven was well beaten in a Fairyhouse bumper and on his debut over timber at Fairyhouse in December but Empire Escape showed some potential when staying on here before brought down early on a return visit. Winning bumper Emily Moon has shown ability in big-field maidens at Cork and Navan but three-times Flat winner Sky Marshal looks more of a threat after a very encouraging second over this trip at Fairyhouse where he was going on at the finish. However, DEBUCHET, a Listed bumper winner, is the form pick on his second to Getareason at Galway in August even though his later run was a bit disappointing.
