Fairymount Lord is running well and, though his recent success was gained over 2m4f, he has plenty of pace and won't mind dropping back in trip. The four-year-old Mac Tigue is on the upgrade and was only caught close home by Table Mountain at Navan. He's on the short-list but it was over fences when Fantastic Gold lost his maiden tag at Clonmel. Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh are a force to be reckoned with and team up here with MULLAGHWILLIN BOY, who showed his first real sign of ability over hurdles at Fairyhouse last time. He's on a nice mark and can take this though Rowanville Lady is also showing signs of progress and looks a threat.
