Cash Back never figured at Galway last week though is capable of much better having placed in a Grade 3 hurdle before that. He’s preferred to new stablemate Nyiri, a winner over hurdles in France. The Bosses Oscar is struggling to find his best form but SUPRISE PACKAGE (NAP), last year’s Imperial Cup winner at Sandown, should be spot on now after a couple of efforts on the Flat last month and Peter Fahey’s yard has been among the winners in the last few days. Plains Indian has a tough task on these terms and Masterstonemason looks out of his depth.
