Solar Heat looked a likely future winner when runner-up at KIlbeggan but appeared to have lost her confidence on a return visit after a fall at Ballinrobe. Naturally Blond made a promising start over timber at Tramore though that was over 2m5f and he's since run very poorly in a Kilbeggan bumper. Rock On Bach can go well as he had showed nothing until a close third at Cork then almost made all in a handicap here earlier this month. Russellstown was staying on over 2m2f at Downpatrick on Friday and may need further than this while KIERA ROYALE also ran very well over a longer trip on this track last time. However, the latter travelled well throughout so dropping back shouldn't be a problem and she gets the nod. Little Folke has shown potential in bumpers and she's nicely bred for jumping.
