Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)
TALK THE TALK can grab some Grade 1 compensation here. The Born To Sea gelding looked set to collect at the top level here over Christmas before crashing out at the final flight. That form received a boost recently with the fifth horse, The Passing Wife, winning very impressively at Punchestown. Ballyfad was a bit of a revelation on his hurdling debut at Christmas and the runner-up Leader D'allier has also won in style recently. He looks like an obvious danger. Following the same theme, King Rasko Grey had his form boosted when Shuttle Diplomacy won at Naas last weekend and he also has to be on the shortlist.
