FormscanBy Donal Murphy - CREAM SPARKLES might be able to take this. A winner of a point-to-point in March of 2019, the David Christie trained mare has been placed four times on the track since. She was fifth on her debut over flights at Downpatrick last month and improved on that performance to take third at Galway. Chicago Time was ten lengths behind her in fourth and he re-opposes now. The Willie Mullins trained Valley Breeze returns to action after a lengthy absence and he is given second preference. The seven-year-old has some decent bumper form to his name and while he disappointed on his hurdles debut he is surely capable of better. Jonathan Burke returns to these shores to ride Samos Island for his father Liam. The five-year-old gelding finished fourth in a bumper at Kilbeggan on Saturday and if turned out again quickly it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Newcomer Helisone warrants respect, in the colours made famous by Put The Kettle On, while Opie Houdini and Drifting Back (won here in August of last year before being disqualified for a prohibitive substance) are others to consider in this open contest.
