Craddockstown Lad was reappearing for the first time since landing a point-to-point a year ago when a good third at Navan three weeks ago and Ruby Walsh is an interesting booking. Kestrel appeared to find quicker going to his advantage when runner-up to Bell Weir at Gowran so these conditions won't help while Noble Pageant has now had 30 starts without winning and can hardly be trusted. Our Man Zebo, a progressive point-to-pointer, made his debut under Rules in a Cork bumper at the beginning of the month and with that under his belt can make enough progress to get into the frame though KANDINSKI also has some fine bumper form and, with the experience of a run over timber in January, he's the one to be on here. Soweheard is one to keep an eye on for the future as he looks a nice staying prospect.
