WHATSAVAILABLE shaped well when third to Classic Getaway in a stronger race at Punchestown 10 days ago and probably won't need to improve to get off the mark unless Willie Mullins' hurdling newcomer, Haxo, proves to be above average. Falcon Eight is another potential player if he puts in a blemish-free round.
