SOIR DE GARDE (5) represents top connections. Can improve further after a 3600m hurdle runner-up effort on deep ground at Leopardstown prior to a last flight fall over 3200m at Cork three weeks ago. Respect as set to make amends. RISKAWAY (4) brings more experience following a fair fourth in the 4400m G1 Golden Cygnet Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown before a down field result attempting the 4200m G1 Baring Bingham Novices Hurdle (4224m) at the Cheltenham Festival. Expected to bounce back. BUNTING (1) might feature after a ninth of twenty four contesting a 4200m Premier Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Warrants a market check. BEGORRA MAN (6) enhanced a promising profile when 2.75L second in a 3200m Navan maiden hurdle. Holds claims.
