FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The 92-rated ROSE BOUM is the suggestion in this competitive affair. With Hannah Phillips claiming 7lb, the Paul Nolan-trained five-year-old will carry a featherweight. Second and beaten by just a length-and-a-quarter when last seen at Wexford, she encouragingly drew 25-lengths clear of the third. Already twice successful from four track starts, top-weight Locked Box is an obvious danger with Georgie Benson aboard, while it'll be interesting to see how Tullyveery Lad fares on his return from a break. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with Downpatrick winner Queenofthelodge, the Jody Townend-ridden Your Honour and Des McDonogh's In For The Night, all sure to have plenty of supporters.
