Verdict
IMPERIAL SHABRA is comfortably the form pick on his second to Rayhani at Naas and looks the logical choice. Blue Turk has only shown moderate ability in three starts over timber but he's a possible threat. Uncle Joe wasn't beaten far behind Georgie at Roscommon and can improve while Green Grenello, despite being beaten a long way on his opening run over hurdles at Gowran, had shown promise in bumpers and can take a hand. Newcomer Street Hawk, who has new connections this year, could be the type to do well at this game as he showed ability on the level and gets in here with all the allowances.
