FormscanBy Alan Magee - A WAVE OF THE SEA won a much more competitive renewal of this race 12 months ago. His preparation this time is certainly unorthodox having been campaigned in staying handicaps, notably when second to Ontheropes in the Munster National at Limerick. Grange Walk beat Exit Poll over course and distance at Christmas but John Ryan’s charge needs to bounce back after jumping poorly at Fairyhouse last month. Mt Leinster hasn’t reached the same heights over hurdles or fences as he’s shown on the Flat and the free-running gelding now switches to handicap company after filling third spot behind odds-on stablemate Haut En Couleurs over course and distance.
