Going - Good, Good to Yielding in places. Overcast and windy

Formscan By Donal Murphy - STAY GOLD clearly relished the step-up in trip at Punchestown last month, ultimately going down by just a nose. The 116-rated bay was unlucky not to have been awarded that contest in the stewards room, after he was slightly bumped by the winner in the closing stages. Now tackling three-miles for the first time and back in maiden company, he looks the one to beat. Subsequently disqualified after his October triumph at this venue, Empire Succes has definite claims, while William Butler is another leading hope. Expensive purchases after point-to-point wins, Coumeenoole and Additional Time both warrant respect, with the latter on a retrieval mission after flopping at Listowel. The winner of a bumper here in May, Strong Link is declared to run at Tipperary on Thursday and is a doubtful starter.
