HAWK FLIGHT and Tennis Cap were promoted to second and third in the race won by Burn And Turn at Leopardstown last month and there is very little between them here.

The Amarillo Kid, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, looked a progressive hurdler when a good fourth at Fairyhouse and should get competitive while Essexbridge failed to stay 2m4f at Down Royal after a very good run behind Folsom Blue at Limerick.
