FormscanBy Michael Graham - PRINCE PALACE was placed twice over staying trips in Fairyhouse last year and this race gives him an opportunity to grab a victory. He didn't cut much ice in two outings in February and March, however, they were much better contests and he should appreciate this company. Pirate Island has been placed three times over flights and looks one of the more likely contenders. Rocco Boyo faced a stiff task in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in November and duly finished well adrift in third. Prior to that, he was placed in a couple of bumpers so he could have a say. Crooked Tannie has the ability to be very competitive, but the trip is a concern as he was completely tailed off over 2m4f at Navan in January.
