Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneDUNCREEVAN was backed at big prices before finishing third in a useful Leopardstown bumper in March of last year and the pair who beat the Doyen gelding have gone on to become very capable hurdlers. The six-year-old is fitted with a tongue-tie on this first start for Gavin Cromwell and, despite his long layoff, if he runs to anywhere near that form he'll be hard to beat. Follow The Brave was well fancied for a Punchestown Festival bumper but didn't live up to expectations with a midfield finish. It goes without saying that the champion trainer's charge could easily leave that debut form well behind. Kilbarry Lilac was narrowly beaten on debut at Tramore last year and her comeback fourth at Wexford was another solid effort. She has a good chance of being in the money again. Mount Barker, a half-brother to three winning jumpers, one of whom won a bumper on debut, is another to consider.
