COLTOR found only a potential top-notch rival too good at Leopardstown on hurdling debut and with, in all likelihood, nothing of that calibre in opposition this time, he's fancied to go one better with improvement on the cards. Curious Bride and Call Me Rocky also arrive on the back of promising starts in this sphere, so they also warrant consideration.
