Halling's Treasure, a winner for Andrew Balding in the UK, looked a certain future hurdles winner when runner-up to Shantou Ed at Fairyhouse but disappointed at Navan last month when strongly fancied. He'll be backed to gain compensation but may find WOOD BREIZH in his way. Willie Mullins' charge is also penalised for a victory on the Flat but ran his best race to date over timber behind Blow The Doors Off at Gowran last time and should be capable of further improvement. Khadian has yet to show much since arriving from France and the remainder are all virtually unknowns.
