Preview:

FORRARD AWAY handles testing ground well and scored over this trip at Wexford on St Patrick's Day. The Califet gelding was given a summer break and should be spot on for this following a couple of outings. He was only headed on the run-in when a close-up third to the progressive Mattie's Mountain at Fairyhouse earlier this month and remains on a competitive mark. Any market move for Temptationinmilan would be very interesting. The Charles Byrnes-trained gelding is a half-brother to five winners and, while bred to appreciate at least another half a mile, has shown glimpses of ability in maidens. Moonlight Glory is an obvious danger having completed a double on the day for her trainer when successful over course and distance last month.

Fourneux D'isanka, runner-up to the odds-on El Barra at Thurles last month, and Blazing Khal have both shown promise in bumpers on a number of occasions and look sure to go well. The latter comes here off the back of a decent effort behind The Banger Doyle at Punchestown. John Joe Walsh won the mares' bumper here on Saturday and is now represented by Kildorrery winner Rochestown, while Grady Hollow also won between the flags at Castletown-Geoghegan.
