Verdict
MILL QUEST (NAP) has his fourth start of the month and bids for a hat-trick after last weekend’s cosy win at Tramore. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but won off a similar mark over hurdles earlier. Consharon Boy scored over track and trip with Burndown back in sixth before placing in a novice chase and Matin D'Anjou landed a novices’ race at Tramore last week. Dont Kick Nor Bite went close over hurdles at Galway recently and won a beginners’ chase at Sligo last year.
