Verdict

REFLET AMBRE had looked progressive before a poor run on his handicap debut at Cork and this looks more his grade. Ruby Walsh can steer him home though Sparkalark made a promising debut over timber at Wexford where he led for a long way. St Peter's Square has had his chances but should still get competitive in a moderate contest while Realdealholyfield reverts to hurdles after falling over fences at Fairyhouse when looking dangerous.
