All eyes will be on GINTO here. He was purchased for an astonishing €470,000 after landing a point at Tattersalls Farm and started long odds-on for his bumper debut but was turned over by Whatdeawant, who didn't let the form down when placed in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown. The slow pace won't have done Gordon Elliott's charge any favours and he should start repaying some of that enormous outlay. Now Where Or When was placed twice over timber before finishing a 17-length third in a bumper here and Stuart Crawford also runs The Flier Begley, runner-up in a Lisronagh point in November. Derek O'Connor's presence on board Shantreusse will ensure Sam Curling's charge attracts some support though he's bred to be a stayer over jumps.
