Verdict
Gavin Cromwell has four entries. Broken Ice won a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown in August but hasn't run since November and may just need this but Donnrua Dream is in fine form having won twice over timber in recent weeks. Dual hurdles winner Shantou Lucky also represents the yard and he will have benefited greatly from his chasing debut at Leopardstown where he stayed on late without threatening. The Declaimer is a real chasing type who landed a Thurles handicap hurdle in good style in November. That was on good ground so he could find this too testing so it's YABO who gets the nod. Liz Doyle's mare went clear with the eventual winner when tackling 2m5f at Thurles and only weakened from the last so should make a bold bid to lead all here.
