FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Emmet Mullins and Paul Byrne won this race 12-months ago and the pair again look to have strong claims with CLAY PIGEONS. Previously in the care of Jonathan Fogarty and the winner of a point-to-point on his third start at Boulta in December, he was subsequently bought by current connections for 62,000 pounds. Generous Risk was third to the selection at Boulta, but since won by 15-lengths at Belclare. Sold for 250,000 pounds after that success, the No Risk At All chestnut warrants the utmost respect starting off for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown House Stud. Plenty of locally trained contenders are of interest, with the unbeaten Hunt Away, Donal Coffey's Wings Of A Swallow and Tallow victor Deerpark Hill all sure to have their supporters.
