FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MEETINGOFTHEWATERS is a useful staying prospect and can win on his second start over hurdles. The Court Cave gelding won a bumper at Downpatrick in May and kept on well when third over a slightly longer trip on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe. He might be seen to best effect on a more galloping track but, nonetheless, looks the one to beat. Dragon Rock makes his Rules debut after two placed efforts in point-to-points and has to be respected for the champion trainer. Le Nouveau, a half-brother to The New One, was beaten less than a length in a good bumper at last year’s Galway festival and makes his hurdling debut here for Liz Doyle having left Willie Mullins’ yard. Wild Caprice ran well on stable debut when second in a Down Royal handicap and gets plenty of weight from the selection.
