Verdict

KRAK looks the way to go on the back of a highly encouraging debut third in what looked a decent Leopardstown during the Christmas period. He may have most to fear from smart bumper performer A Dream To Share, who should come on for this first spin over hurdles at Fairyhouse in November. Ballybow left his hurdling bow behind when runner-up at Down Royal and is also shortlisted, along with the Willie Mullins-trained Kalix Delabarriere.
