STONESINMYPOCKET is the youngest in the line-up and seemingly the most progressive. He had a chance when falling at the last at Ballinrobe in May and has produced two fine runs subsequently. He's going up in the weights without winning but this should be his day and he easily holds Western Island and Torremuelle on his run at Killarney last month. Winning hunter and point-to-pointer Close Review will have found 2m3f too short at Wexford last time and a strong gallop over this trip should ensure he gets into the frame. Toomdeely has been disappointing over fences though he's generally performed in better company and has dropped to a fair mark if anywhere near his best.
