KURASSO BLUE (2) makes Irish and stable debut for leading connections. Won on sole French hurdle start by 2.5L at Auteuil. Leading contender. MURCIA (3) represents a top yard. Drops in grade after finishing eighth in a G2 Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown on Boxing Day. The winner of that race has since scored in the G1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle last week. Major form claims. HOLY SEE (6) improved from first Irish outing at Limerick to place at Naas. Could feature. CASTLEHEATH (4) looks to double up after impressively winning by 5.5L on second hurdle attempt at Punchestown. Warrants close consideration.
