CLONGOWES ticks the course and class boxes as well as winning two contests on good ground at Down Royal and the Curragh in June last year. Trainer-Jim Bolger is running in to a little form of late and this colt by New Approach can go close here. The Ger Lyons-trained Song Of Namibia is likely to improve for seasonal debut at Limerick last month and is now just 3lb higher than his last winning mark, the seven-year-old can announce himself as the biggest danger to the selection. St Stephens Green who is just 2lb higher than last winning mark can hit the frame.
