JOLILY would probably have finished third here last week if a rival hadn't fallen at the last but it was still a very good effort from the point-to-point winner, who will get a good ride from Martin Burke, and looks the one to be on. Bangonform once looked very promising over fences but he's been racing over hurdles and might find himself on too high a mark here. Supreme Builder beat a big field at Navan in January but fell on his next two starts and needs a return to form while In Great Form is held by the selection on a line through Miss Pepperpot, who has beaten both recently. Dark Vagabond won between the flags early last month before a cracking run in a Punchestown handicap a few days later. He may have been feeling the effects when disappointing at Down Royal and looks a threat if back to his best.
