Kilclispeen landed a Punchestown bumper in June but didn't jump fluently back over hurdles at Tipperary and will need to improve in that department. Barrack Street didn't get the best of runs on his hurdling bow over the track and trip last month and is the type to improve with his rider's claim a major plus. Ultimate Horseman ran very well over the track and trip earlier this month and that form would be good enough but he's been beaten at Roscommon since and may have to settle for a place again behind VICTORYROWE. The latter has been running well enough and his close second to Shouband at Tramore a couple of weeks ago gives him a fine opportunity.
