Hidden Cyclone beat a huge field of newcomers at Gowran in April and though the form hasn't worked out there should be more to come from him. Inspector Clouseau is taking time to find his form since transferring from the UK but made definite progress last time and should soon be on the scoresheet. Ordinary Man has been looking one-paced over further and should be suited by the return to this trip while Original Option made an impressive bumper debut at Limerick in December and could be anything. GALLILEI, twice a winner on the level in France, gave backers of Laughing Boy a fright at Listowel and can go one better though potential supporters of Ballygologue will be keeping an eye on the first division as Tommy Stack's charge finished fourth in The Real Article's race at Listowel and the placed horses are engaged.
