BERRY DES AULMES needed his comeback at Clonmel despite starting favourite but put that run behind him when runner-up to Brave Out over this track and trip and should improve again. Thekingofrocknroll showed some improvement when stepped up to around this trip at Punchestown and can make further progress but Brightest Flame looks as though he wants a marathon trip. Ask The Legend may prove best of the remainder as she had a run over timber in March before reverting to bumpers.
