Verdict
SAVAL PARK showed further improvement when third at Downpatrick in October and Alan Fleming's charge may be good enough now handicapping for the first time. De Glebe Star posted a better effort when runner-up at Fairyhouse and could figure while Sacre Malta was placed over these hurdles on his penultimate start. Fureys Cross wasn’t beaten far at Navan last time and this looks easier than Fade In's recent task at Punchestown. Nimdani could also go well reverting to hurdles.
