Preference is for TURKESTAN, who showed ability on the Flat for Roger Varian in Britain and he took a sizeable step forward when runner-up on handicap debut in this sphere at Kilbeggan. Bridge Native will be a threat if she puts her best foot forward and Lusis Naturea, a winner at Navan on his latest hurdles start, is also feared with talented apprentice Shane Fitzgerald doing the steering.
