Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh are a formidable partnership and GALLANT OSCAR looks another for the team. A winner over fences in March, he was having his first start since that month when noted staying on over the minimum trip at Down Royal last month and, with that under his belt, can gain his first hurdles victory. Sacre Malta loves heavy ground and has been only narrowly beaten in those conditions on his last two starts while Pencilhimin was having only his fourth start when runner-up to Carrow Queen in similar conditions at Limerick. Drive On Locky has yet to win a race but couldn't go much lower in the ratings and did much better at Cork last time.
