Ruby Walsh is on board Getareason but his mount has plenty to find with shock winner Percy Veer on their run in a Listed contest at Limerick when Madison To Monroe was also in front. The winner has a bit more to do on the revised terms but is progressing fast and can confirm the form. Robin De Carlow looked a potentially smart staying mare when landing a Listed contest over 2m6f at Limerick and her allowance will see her in contention but a chance is taken on MILLINER. Henry De Bromhead's charge attracted strong support when beating the useful Flat performer Batts Rock on his racecourse debut at Punchestown and looks destined for better things. The four-year-old Ellwood will have much more to do than when landing a minor race in France by 12l though Gordon Elliott will have had plenty of options in this.
