WILD MANDATE showed improved form with headgear fitted when second at Sligo and is fancied to progress again over the longer trip. Joya del Mar ran better back over hurdles at Galway and could be the main danger with cheekpieces refitted, while Tiny Angel has solid course form and may be worth another chance in first-time blinkers. Morell River caught the eye on stable debut last time and is one to note for support over the longer trip.
