Gordon Elliott runs KASHMIRI SUNSET and the newcomer Crest. The former looks the one to be on as he has only had two starts for new connections after his victory over 2m2f at York in 2014. He did better at Clonmel last time and should be good enough. Candlestick should come on for his hurdling bow at Thurles where he was up with the pace until fading while Thekingofrockandroll has shown a bit of potential in bumpers.
