FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Denis Hogan has Mahons Glory and first reserve Tom Flynn in the mix, whilst the Mullinses are also well represented, with Emmet, Tony and Tom (third reserve) fielding runners. Emmet’s NOBLE YEATS gets the nod, under the trainer’s cousin Patrick. A step up to an extended two miles and three furlongs looks an excellent idea with the ex-pointer, given the way he finished off for third over the minimum trip at Limerick over Christmas. A former Donie Hassett inmate, the selection looks all about stamina, and hopefully this will prove to be a sufficient test. Churchstonewarrior, Calagogo, Jimmybrien, Rathgearan, Sir Jack West and Soldier Of Destiny are among the others that need to be considered.
