FormscanBy Michael Graham - HALKA DU TABERT galloped home relentlessly in Naas and this longer trip looks sure to suit as she is a former point-to-point winner. The horse she beat by 11 lengths in Naas came out for a very easy victory in Punchestown. The 132-rated Ashroe Diamond is a major threat. She wasn't outclassed in third in Grade 1 company behind top-class sorts in Fairyhouse and Leopardstown. She was a Grade 2 mares' bumper winner at Aintree last season and has plenty of ability. Saylavee looks to have a tough task giving weight away to the field, but she certainly knows where the winning post is. Jetara caught a tartar in Leopardstown, but should have a bright future over hurdles.
