Verdict
Ask Nile won a point at Dromahane in May and is related to several winning bumpers but Creative Talent has been a beaten favourite in his last three starts since making a very promising hurdling debut behind Cradle Mountain and may need further. Rock Lobster has also disappointed after a bright start but there was plenty to admire about LIGHT THAT's second place at Clonmel, when he had Creative Talent back in third, and Jessica Harrington's charge looks the one to be on. Henry De Bromhead has his horses in fine form so the newcomer Miss Lautrec is one to keep an eye on. 2.20
