Irish Poseidon, a dual winner on the Flat in Germany, has completed a quick hat-trick at Dundalk and is an interesting recruit to hurdles. However, he's rated 36lb below MICRO MANAGE, a dual winner for Willie Mullins who was last seen running in the Irish Leger and has previously finished third in a Group 3. He's taken to make a winning start over timber though Hurricane Cliff, another lightly-raced but useful performer on the level, made a fine start over hurdles when chasing home Indiana Jones in what looked a strong Cork maiden. Final Endeavour completed a heavy-ground double on the level in October while Get My Drift and Gee Rex have shown enough to suggest they can get competitive.
