HONESTY POLICY shaped really well when a debut second in a big-field Naas novice and is fancied to build on it and go one better here. Henry de Bromhead's hurdling debutant Salt Bay was a very useful performer on the Flat though so should ensure Gordon Elliott's 5-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Come Walk With Me, Icare d'Aubrelle and St Cuthbert's Cave can fight it out for minor honours.
