Verdict
Cradle Mountain had been placed in maiden hurdles before disappointing in a novices‘ event at Bellewstown. He may well return to form in this but a chance is taken on ARETESONE improving further given he was clear of the rest when third at Roscommon last month and Ruby Walsh takes over the reins today. Miro was a well beaten third at Punchestown on his penultimate start and is preferred to stablemate Lunar Logic on that form while Estrenar goes hurdling for the first time and may prove best of the rest.
