A huge field here but POTTERS POINT is likely to start at short odds. It took him four runs to gain his first success in a Punchestown bumper but the £260,000 purchase has the pedigree and scope to make a smart jumper. Mick Thonic hasn't been seen since landing a minor race over hurdles in France as a three year old but is one for the notebook as is Woodland Opera, whose bumper victory over Fugi Mountain at Leopardstown in January was greatly enhanced when the runner up subsequently completed a hat trick. Coney Island showed his inexperience on his racecourse debut in what looked a better than average Naas maiden three weeks ago and can go well in a race that should provide pointers for the future.
