MURAT (1) arrives on the back of progressive maiden hurdle form. Followed a Naas runner-up effort with a Leopardstown success last time winning by a nose over 2mf. Could prove hard to beat. WELONLYHAVEDONE (2) returned from a lay-off with a solid Navan third tackling 2mf. Can take a step forward for that outing with Keith Donoghue again booked. Represents the main danger. GIN TONIC (4) resumes after a two-month break. Won first time out last campaign at Wexford attempting 2m4f. Warrants serious consideration. TIMELESS TREATY (3) has been struggling to have an impact and despite a slightly better Navan fifth in latest still finished well held. Needs a major turnaround.
