Punchestown

There is no strong reason to believe that THE MOURNE RAMBLER will fail to uphold Cheltenham form with six of these rivals. That view is underlined by the fact that Patrick Mullins turns to Dromard who made a strong first impression at Gowran after failing to make the track in time to put himself in the Cheltenham picture. He may pose the main threat to Noel Meade's runner. Boycetown and The Wager, fourth and seventh respectively at Cheltenham, can compete for place money. [Alan Sweetman]
