Finch can wing in
If a possible star of the future is going to be on view then it is likely to be Edward O'Grady's five-year-old and he should prove hard to beat.
The Overbury gelding made a promising racecourse debut at Navan 13 days ago, giving the impression there was a lot better to come.
No less than 30 runners contested that particular maiden and Jack Finch was noted doing all his best work at the end when seventh to Forpadydeplasterer.
He ran in two point-to-points last year, winning easily at Limavady, having chased home Herecomesthetruth on his debut at Ballyraggert.
Herecomesthetruth, now in the care of Paul Nicholls, won a competitive little hurdle race at Plumpton earlier in the week.
Stepping up two and a half furlongs in trip looks all in favour of the selection and he can prove too strong for Border Graduate, who started off over flights and has a couple of reasonable efforts in bumpers to his credit.
Philip Rothwell's Boleybawn Quikstar gets no more than a hopeful nod in the Irish Racing Annual Beginners Chase.
He made no show in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time, but did win at Tramore previously. Considering he has already been successful in a point, it is safe enough to assume this was always going to be the game for him!
Backtothekingsnest, sixth to the impressive Corskeagh Royale at Punchestown last month, is no great shakes, but may be capable of landing the Bumper.
