POLO LOUNGE confirmed the promise of his runners-up effort at KIllarney when running out an impressive winner of a Listowel bumper 5 weeks ago, well on top finish. Every inch a useful hurdles prospect for his powerful stable, he could be worth siding with to make it first time lucky in this sphere. That said, Catena Zapata's hurdling debut second at Gowran contained promise and he's a big threat. Alpesh Amin can also make the frame.
