BLAKE (3) resumed from a lay-off last start finishing fifth in the 2mf G1 Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown. May strip fitter for that run. Capable of sharp improvement. DAVY CROCKETT (1) also returned from a break in the same G1 Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown finishing tenth. Holds ability though must learn to settle. LAZARE DE STAR (4) indicated enough ability to be competitive in a race like this. Rates as a promising chance. LE LABO (5) has not raced since a maiden hurdle tackling 2m1f at Cork. Already a proven jumper and likely well prepared for this return.
