Bucky Larson goes well here and is on the same mark as when successful last July though Colin Keane, who rode him, prefers Hale Bopp. He was on board when the latter made a promising comeback at Leopardstown so should get into contention. RIVER DERWENT, who was staying on strongly over 7f at the Curragh earlier this month, was having just his sixth start that day and with Hugh Horgan able to claim his full allowance this time looks the one to beat. Coins Cross doesn't win often but has performed well the last twice while Crystal Black's close third in a Curragh premier handicap in September would put him in the driving seat if ready after a break.
