FormscanBy Gary Carson - A WAVE OF THE SEA ran a cracker at Navan back in December and may be able to score now off just a pound higher mark. The Born To Sea gelding has had a little break since and the form of that race has worked out well. The third horse has been placed a couple of times since while the fifth, Don't Talk, has won his last two. Clonbury Bridge comes here in winning form and looks the danger. The Presenting gelding was value for a bit more than his winning margin at Fairyhouse last time and a 4lb rise doesn't look harsh. Philip Rothwell has his team in fine form and Prince Zaltar is another for the shortlist.
