French import LAURETS D'ESTRUVAL (12) has been holding his form well. Followed a Pau runner-up effort with another solid second in a Limerick maiden hurdle 41 days ago. Leading contender. A PIECE OF HEAVEN (1) has not been seen since a Leopardstown flat third tackling 1m7f in July. Switches to hurdles and makes plenty of appeal. BULGADEN CASTLE (11) arrives on the back of consecutive placed efforts in maiden hurdles most recently going down 1L attempting track and trip. Represents a genuine threat. JERRY FROM KERRY (4) cannot be dismissed outright on jumps debut. Warrants serious consideration pending market support.
