CROKE PARK (2) represents leading connections and recorded a comfortable G3 novice hurdle victory this time last year. Open to further improvement on chase debut and this looks an ideal opportunity. Top selection. CLEATUS POOLAW (1) is a stablemate who displayed plenty of hurdle promise prior to a Cheltenham Festival (UK) ninth in the 3m Pertemps Final Premier Handicap Hurdle before a smart fourth over 2m3f at the Punchestown Festival. Makes plenty of appeal. IRIS EMERY (5) has chasing experience which is an advantage including a fair third over 2m3f at Tipperary two runs ago. Looks interesting. SEQUESTERED (4) rates next best.
