It looks a strong race — more like a Grade Two than a Listed race — but I suppose the ground is soft in Tramore, which suits these staying chasers. We run the three of them, as we’re getting into 2019 and we need to get these horses out. Al Boum Photo would probably be the pick of them on last season’s form. He’s a Grade One winner and we hope he could be a Gold Cup horse. The worry would be our horses that ran over Christmas that hadn’t had a run this season looked like they needed it. Our three Grade One winners in Leopardstown — Aramon, Kemboy and Sharjah — had all had a run. We want to see Total Recall jumping well as his jumping let him down at the end of last season. A good, clear round would be good for him. Invitation Only needs to improve.
