Not surprisingly plenty of these have been in action over jumps including Nibiru, a comfortable winner on the level at Fairyhouse before a fair run in a tough handicap hurdle at Galway. Classic Lord won four times when trained in the UK and started favourite for his hurdling debut at Cork last month but didn't jump with any fluency. He could be well treated with Jamie Powell's claim taken into consideration. Herring Island is very much an unknown at this trip having gained both victories over much shorter on soft ground. His trainer also runs MASTER OF REALITY (NAP), the obvious class-act of the race whose last victory was at Listed level and who is on course for another crack at the Irish St Leger. Hugh Horgan's claim reduces his massive weight and he's taken to get back on the winning trail. Harry's Legacy would be a threat to all if getting a run.
