Verdict
Dual point-to-point winner ATLANTA FALCON is penalised for his two very easy bumper victories in the UK but looks a nice prospect for jumping and will take some beating. Dont Tell The Boys has the potential to be useful though punters will need to forgive a poor effort at Gowran in April, while Ballyhoura has been narrowly beaten in bumpers at Cork and Roscommon though he fell when making his hurdling debut in November. Captain Ocana will need to do better while Seader has let supporters down on his two latest starts. Serein and Sizing Symphony both appear capable of making their presence felt if the selection doesn't take to the obstacles.
