Amir Kabir has been very highly tried since landing a Listowel maiden and didn't run badly in the Galway Hurdle. His stablemate Set Point has also been running in strong company since completing an early-summer double and had an outing on the beach at Laytown on Tuesday. NYIRI made a winning debut over timber in France last December and will be better for last month's opening run for Willie Mullins at Cork so gets the nod as the remaining pair have plenty to find.
