    Verdict

    STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT has overcome temperament issues with commanding recent victories, including a 10-length romp at Clonmel seven weeks ago. Though stepping up in class, he's clearly in top form. Rocky's Diamond, last year's winner, and Home By The Lee, a former Grade 1 winner are obvious threats, though it will be fascinating to see what Gerri Colombe can do back hurdling.

    Staffordshire Knot (Ire) silk

    Reluctant individual but on his best behaviour of late. Landed the odds in 5-runner minor event hurdle at Clonmel (22f, heavy, 8/13) 51 days ago and has to demand respect in current mood,

    Rocky's Diamond (Ire) silk

    Smart hurdler. C&D winner. Visored for first time, well-beaten sixth of 8 to Teahupoo in Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown (23.4f, good, 16/1) 25 days ago, going off too hard and also jumping sketchily. Win this race a year ago and a danger to all on that level.

    Home By The Lee (Ire) silk

    Smart hurdler. Visored for first time, creditable 15¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Teahupoo in Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown (23.4f, good, 12/1) 25 days ago, racing lazily. Blinkers back on. Solid claims eased slightly in class.
