The mare New York Style has an excellent pedigree for hurdling and though absent since runner-up in a bumper over a year ago is one to keep an eye on. Mark Walsh is on board for J P McManus with Rachael riding the stable's Slade Steel, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper and looking a nice hurdling prospect. King Of Kingsfield, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper and placed in the championship bumper at Punchestown, started long odds-on for his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse but was caught on the run-in. He'll know more here and looks the chief threat to ICARE DESBOIS. Willie Mullins' charge was very impressive when beaten stablemate and subsequent winner Lecky Watson at Fairyhouse in April last year and can defy a long absence.
