FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Henry de Bromhead landed this bumper with a useful type two years ago and AIR OF ENTITLEMENT looks a leading contender. The daughter of Westerner is from the family of Irish Grand National winner Rogue Angel and impressed when a wide margin winner of a Lingstown point-to-point for Colin Bowe four months ago. Gordon Elliott is another trainer who has won this race before and is represented by Ocean Brew. Also by Westerner and a half-sister to the smart Eric Bloodaxe, she had to work hard to land a point-to-point at Tyrella in early March but is open to improvement. Ma Bess, fitted with a hood for the first time, has the advantage of plenty of bumper experience. Runner-up twice and fourth in a Listed contest at Gowran in the autumn, she'll be fitter for a recent comeback outing in a point-to-point.%0A
