Few of these arrive in any sort of form and none have won on the track. Highbrow Blue was chasing last summer but has some decent hurdling form to his credit and should go well if ready after a long break. BATTLING BORU (NAP) was having his first start since St Stephen's Day when staying on strongly over the minimum trip at Punchestown last month. He won over this trip at Galway in October and is just 4lb higher so Danny Mullins can steer him to another success. Klinnsman was beaten less than a length behind Hard Bought at Tipperary but that was over two miles and he's never raced beyond that trip so stamina has to be taken on trust. Leave At Dawn is another stepping up markedly in distance but he's always looked a potential stayer and if the market speaks in his favour he's definitely one to keep on the right side.
