FormscanBy Stuart Howden - KARA SACRE makes a lot of sense in the opener. Paul Nolan's charge won a point-to-point impressively prior to finishing a creditable second on his hurdling bow at Naas last month and he should go very close now sporting a first-time hood. Ivybrook finished second behind Romeo Coolio here in November and is a player on that form, while Big Dee has won a bumper at this venue and now tackles hurdles for the first time.
