Verdict
Having only found one too good in his first two runs here, WILLIAM DU BERLAIS can make it third-time lucky. Enda Bolger's five-year-old is improving with experience and has more scope than Tajseer, who has been beaten in a couple of moderate races at Perth since finishing a close second at Down Royal, and the returning Little Rocky. Solar Heat will be having her 13th start over hurdles and appears to have gone off the boil again lately.
