Shop Dj would be the definite form pick after a good hurdling debut behind Araucaria and a decent run in a Grade 3 at Down Royal ,though it's difficult to ignore the potential of SICILIAN SECRET. Willie Mullins' charge, an easy bumper winner at Leopardstown on his debut last year, was a long odds-on chance when runner-up to Wilde Wit Pleasure here a year ago before another modest run at Fairyhouse in April. He's just the type to do much better this season, though, and looks one to follow. Most of the remainder look like chasers in the making including Crude, though Dessie Hughes' charge ran reasonably well on his hurdling debut at Navan last month.
