Tommy Stack has his string in top form at present and the County Tipperary handler can land the opener with SCRUMPTIOUS. The Sakhee filly made a good impression when bustling up Almazaal on her debut at Limerick in March and she can go one better this evening. Washington Poste was staying on well when fourth over an extended 7f at Tipperary last month and is a danger now raised in distance, while Vision Of Grandeur showed plenty of ability in maidens last year and completes the short-list.

MISS DELA, second to subsequent Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Nightime on her first public appearance last term, was not seen out again until running fourth at the Curragh last month. David Wachman's filly should strip fitter for that outing and can land the spoils here. Kalamkar was thought good enough to contest a Group 3 race when trained by Sir Michael Stoute and should be checked in the betting ring on his first start for two years, while Dukedom showed enough promise in two maiden outings last term to warrant a place on the short-list.

SOME COOL CAT has yet to shed her maiden tag but she shaped with promise when sixth over a mile on her seasonal return at Limerick and could be the value in what appears to be an open race. Derpat ran well for a long way at Leopardstown on her reappearance and could have a say in the closing stages, while both Smarty Socks and Mull On The Run have possibilities on the pick of their efforts.

FOR A SONG has run second to promising sorts on his last two starts over fences and is expected to go one better this evening with champion jockey Ruby Walsh continuing in the irons. Both Strand Line and Impartial have some respectable hurdles form in the book and cannot be dismissed now starting out over fences, while The Four Pats showed enough promise when placed on his chasing bow at Ludlow in March to suggest that he can find a race.

BRIDESWELL BOY had every chance of following up a success at Tramore last month when crashing out five fences from home at Punchestown last Saturday and can make amends with a clear round of jumping. Mullica Lad came to grief early in the same race when also bidding for a brace and he could be the danger if none the worse for that mishap. Ballysheedy is 9lb better off with Brideswell Boy for a 10-length reverse at Tramore last time out and rates best of the remainder.

Musselburgh winner FORTHRIGHT disappointed when favourite at Aintree last month but he is capable of better and is the tentative choice to land what looks a tricky contest. Molly Massini was not disgraced in a Grade 3 at Punchestown last month but may appreciate more cut in the ground and the lightly-raced Summer Soul may be the one for the forecast. Dermot Weld's charge scored on his last hurdles outing at Galway in July and should go close if straight enough after a near nine-month break.

Nina Carberry's mounts are always popular with punters in this sphere and BALLYDUNGMANOR should not want for support in the betting ring. The selection has chased home the winner on his last two starts in this discipline and it would be no surprise were he to gain a deserved success this evening. Novel Investment, Kirbybroguelantern and Clonsilla Affairs can fight it out for the consolation money.
