BORIS DE BLAE, a winner at Dromahane last April, made a very encouraging debut over timber at Fairyhouse last month behind Fine Theatre with an odds-on chance back in third. He has more to do here but looks capable of a big run. Oscar Knight has run very well on his last two starts without quite getting there and it will be a surprise if he's not in the firing-line. Sunsetstorise would be the pick on last season's form but he was well beaten on his reappearance on New Year's Day and could need another run. After a promising run behind No More Heroes over 2m6f here in November, Undressed surprisingly reverted to a bumper at Leopardstown but didn't appreciate the testing ground. Inch Rise will have found two miles too short at Gowran and this is more like his trip.
