A few of these offer potential, not least Noel Meade's BEN HUR who shaped well when runner-up at Navan last month and can build on it to go one better here. Both Wackestone and Kibris also look to have better days ahead of them and can play a part, while Charles Byrnes' hurdling debutant Blue Train needs considering too.
