In depth
Verdict
Winning bumper and hurdler CAVALRY MASTER (NAP) has only raced in testing conditions over fences and should do better now tackling quicker conditions over a longer trip. He made a bold bid to concede Stansfield 18lb at Down Royal last time and can get off the mark over fences. Cuneo looks a big threat on his close third over this trip at Thurles and was taking on stronger company in a Fairyhouse handicap last time. Winning bumper Momus has yet to score over jumps though will have found 2m much too short on just his second start over fences at Naas last month.
