SUNCROFT showed the benefit of his opening run when making a bold bid to lead all at Killarney and though unable to hold Summerville Boy should have made enough progress to see off these rivals. Peacocks Secret also led at Punchestown and wasn't caught until the closing stages so he'll be difficult to keep out of the frame while Nemean Lion had some decent form on good going in the autumn and would be a threat if handling the softer ground. Broke Away has a fine pedigree for jumping and is one to note in the market.
