Dani's Boy, who won on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week, didn't run up to that form on the level here on Tuesday. Castlehume is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won here two years ago and is now 10lb lower. Cornakill Rose landed a Bellewstown maiden earlier this month and again has Eoin Walsh's claim on her side but Magic Sea has been looking a few pounds high after his easy victory at Down Royal in December. Thousand Tears was receiving 15lb from the winner when runner-up at Kilbeggan while Rare Conor didn't stay 2m4f at Punchestown. STYLISH MOMENT (NAP) was in good form throughout last summer over hurdles and fences. A spin at Bellewstown early this month will have blown the cobwebs away and he can get back to winning ways. Act In Time is one to note as he returns to hurdling and Acclamatio is another to keep an eye on in the market.
