BATTLE OF CLONTARF (NAP) scored between the flags in 2014 and didn't return to action until May where he landed another point-to-point. He made a very encouraging debut over hurdles over slightly further than this at Tramore where he was in the lead at this trip so looks the one to be on here. El Vasco had shown nothing before a much better run in a huge field at Punchestown and can be expected to improve further as can winning point-to-pointer Robin De Roost, who has shown potential in bumpers.
