FormscanBy Alan Magee - Gavin Cromwell holds a strong hand here and perhaps CRESCENT MOON will prove the pick. She was second to Blue Mosque on her only bumper start at Naas last year and after showing some promise in decent maiden hurdles, filled the runner-up spot on her handicap debut at Cork last month. Conor Stone-Walsh now takes off a valuable 5lb and she’s preferred to stablemate Bridie’s Beau who has been raised a hefty 14lb for a decisive win at Punchestown last month. Find A Fortune, Killaney King and Iamagetaway are three for the shortlist while Therellbguddaysyet and Krabat are both consistent sorts who look sure to give a good account.
