BLACKBOW, runner-up in the 2018 Champion Bumper at Punchestown, has been a very expensive failure over timber having been beaten when long odds-on three times. But he would have beaten Captain Guinness but for falling here in December and gets another chance. Lynwood Gold made a promising start over hurdles in a big field at Fairyhouse and only just failed to peg back Port Stanley at Naas so looks certain to go well. He holds Ennemi Public on the latter run while winning bumper Rescue Package enjoyed heavy ground at Tramore. The Priest's Leap ran a fine race here last month where he would have gone close but for a mistake at the last.
