FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The top four National Hunt trainers in the country are represented here. Henry de Bromhead saddles both NOUVOTIC and The Electrical Kid, with Darragh O'Keeffe opting to partner the former. A winner at this venue last summer, he finished a fine third on his track debut over fences at Kilbeggan last month and he's entitled to step forward from that effort. In the same ownership as the selection, chasing debutant Yoradreamer warrants the utmost respect with Paul Townend aboard, but he'll need to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Roscommon if he is to feature. Greatness Awaits is another starting off over fences, with this locally-owned six-year-old sure to have plenty of supporters after his recent Killarney win. A solid fourth on his debut for Ian Donoghue at Kilbeggan last month, West Away is an interesting contender, while Roscommon runner-up Iamagetaway is another for the shortlist.
