FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A dual bumper winner, MY GREAT MATE is a stand-out name among the 22 intended starters. A half-brother to Grade 1 victor Ashroe Diamond, the Jukebox Jury grey was down the field when tried at the highest level on his most recent start. In much calmer waters now and upped in trip, he looks the one to beat. Midleton Rare and Sage Conseil are other bumper scorers in the line-up, with the former successful by 10-lengths at Fairyhouse in October. Kilkee Bay has some valuable hurdling experience to his name but was disappointing when a beaten favourite at Ballinrobe last month. Donnie Devito and dual point-to-point winner La Vega Moon are others that warrant respect.
