Race preview
Point-to-point winner QUANTUM REALM scored twice over fences last year including a half-length defeat of Gateau De Miel over just short of three miles at Downpatrick. He ran a cracker last time when runner-up to Toss Again in the valuable Galway Blazers Handicap Chase (Desertmore House back in seventh) and a reproduction of that form should make him hard to beat. Mica Malpic showed a nice turn of foot to win over 2m3f here recently and the Enda Bolger-trained gelding showed he's equally well suited by three miles when scoring in fine style at Listowel last autumn. Macgiloney returned to form over hurdles here last time, while My Design also reverts to fences after winning at the Galway Festival. Waitnsee and Gondor, successful at Killarney last month, are others to consider.
