Henry De Bromhead is in excellent form and Paris Duvet is definitely the type to improve on his recent runs at Dundalk so he to be respected on his handicap debut. Jim Bolger is another going strongly and Paistiul is another making her handicap bow after showing plenty of potential in maidens. Asanda couldn't go the pace over the minimum at Naas and should be much better suited by this trip while Dandy Belle will be better for last month's run at Dundalk and he showed enough in nurseries here and at the Curragh last summer to enter calculations. ICE BULLET (NAP) showed little in three starts last summer but had quite obviously improved over the winter as he was very well supported when making a successful reappearance at Dundalk in February where he just got up over that 6f. He's surprisingly only been raised 1lb and this looks no tougher.
