Having finished a very close second to recent Galway Plate winner Lord Scoundrel in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in October 2014, REDROBIN is the obvious form pick though the fact that he hasn't run since is a concern. Hopefully he'll be ready to do himself justice and can start making up for lost time. An Caisteal Nuadh looked a smart prospect when landing a Limerick bumper last month but didn't do as well in a tougher race at Galway 10 days later. He should make a hurdler as should Rogue Agent, a dual winner on the Flat in France who started favourite on his debut for new connections at Galway but faded on the run-in after being up with the pace. The Jazz Singer has run his best races over this trip while Triolet has shown glimpses of promise in bumpers.
