Improved nicely on a modest debut when third, beaten 3l, in a maiden hurdle here on his most recent run. Effective at 2m with cut and, as an ex-Ballydoyle runner, should have more to offer.

Verdict
SARATOGA has been placed on both outings over hurdles and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when a promising third over C&D last month. On that evidence, he gets the vote. Highland Crystal is an obvious threat having scored in fine style on both hurdle starts, including a Listed race at Newbury, while Kilmeaden provided Donnacha O'Brien with his first jumps winner at Punchestown last month.
Expert View Verdict
Highland Crystal scored in good style at Newbury, in what was admittedly a weak Listed event against her own sex, but she now has to concede weight all round, and to some smart geldings who were rated in the 90s on the Flat. She may prove up to it, but KILMEADEN created a good impression when providing his trainer with a first jumps winner at Punchestown and is taken to follow up en route to a possible crack at the Fred Winter. He likes soft ground and looks a strong stayer at the trip. Genealogy and Saratoga, both ex-Ballydoyle, appeal as likely types for the Fred Winter also, with them needing this run to get qualified.
