Verdict

Burgas has failed to show any progress over fences since going close at Down Royal on Boxing Day and Milsean has disappointed since placing at Wexford on his chasing bow. Both may post better efforts here for powerful yards but HIGHLAND FLING is preferred. The latter looked set to finish third at Fairyhouse when falling at the last and Gavin Cromwell’s charge should go close today if fully recovered. Hugo 'n Taz finished closer at Limerick last time while Ballyegan Hero has won twice over hurdles and makes his chasing debut.
