Sparkalark displayed fair form between the flags in 2014 without winning and revealed some ability when attentions were turned to hurdles, but he's been absent since October and a race-fit CROWN HILL is readily preferred. Henry De Bromhead's gelding has shown significantly improved form on his last two starts, most recently filling the minor placing behind the potentially useful Wakea at Down Royal, a good effort as he could have settled better too. He sets the standard and can break his maiden. Willie The Warrior showed more when a fair fourth at Tipperary and is next best.

Freedom Square, MAGNETIC FORCE and Balinaboola Lass came home third, sixth and 11th respectively in the good ground handicap won by Most Honourable here last month but Magnetic Force was having his first outing since early October and is a value option to turn the form round with that run under his belt and on slightly better terms. Jonathan Moore, newly-announced stable jockey to Rececca Curtis, takes off a valuable further 5lb and the combination can outpoint John Barry's gelding. Balinaboola Lass has since delivered a much-improved performance when third at Clonmel and deserves a place on the shortlist.

Battle Of Clontarf is hard to assess on form between the flags but it was a good effort to score last month after an 18-month absence and the market may signpost stable expectations on hurdling debut. Buckeye Shan will go well if repeating the level of his Killarney second and has shown his best on good ground, while Faraway Mountain and Miguel Angel from the Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins yards cannot be discounted in such an ordinary contest. However, SIMIEL shaped well on his first two hurdling starts last month and should be in the shake-up here on that promising evidence.

CONDUCT YOURSELF created a good impression when scoring sweetly at Killarney and can defy a 9lb hike in the ratings. A course winner here, the move to 2m4f seemed to suit admirably last time and she is taken to follow up at the expense of the lightly-raced and promising Thats Mypresenting, who can only improve and was third here on Friday. My Pollyanna is next best in what looks a shoot-out between the top two.

THREE STARS is by far the best of this field over hurdles, having landed a Grade 3 Navan contest from Thomas Hobson in November, prior to which he finished runner-up to the likes of Bachasson and Long Dog. Henry De Bromhead looks to have identified a perfect starting point for his career over fences and he should be more than good enough - a clear round permitting. Ex-Nicky Henderson-trained Laudatory has yet to show any aptitude for fencing so Akito and Baily Cloud look the likeliest beneficiaries should the likely favourite not take to his new discipline.

LINE VIEW was highly impressive when a runner-up at Limerick last time out and shaped as though his turn was near. He performed admirably on the run-in and the 10-year-old could be capable of ending a long winless run that goes all the way back to 2013. A mark of 93 certainly shouldn't be beyond him, and he is fancied to get the better of Ballyfinboy, who usually saves his best for this racecourse and must be respected despite a laboured effort at Downpatrick a fortnight ago. Royal Boru and Stonehall Jack are also considered.

Peter Fahey has a reputation as a shrewd trainer in this sphere, and his runners generally tend to improve for their first outing. His strike-rate increases markedly when Katie Walsh is booked, so FRAZEL EXPRESS has to be worthy of selection in an open-looking renewal of this mares only contest. She stayed on well towards the finish on her debut at Killarney last month and looked like a type who should continue to progress. Similar comments apply to Pursecco, who is slightly more exposed but did run well in a decent contest at Cork last time. The rest of the contenders lack much noteworthy form, but Arbor Des Champs is entitled to a mention now on better ground and with Patrick Mullins booked.
