Verdict

KILLER MILLER started off with a good run over hurdles but has since been confined to bumpers. He should be ready for this after a decent run at Fairyhouse and looks the one to be on. Catalaunian Fields had also been in action over hurdles before running in a Leopardstown bumper in January and has shown plenty of potential so should get into the frame while winning point-to-pointer Isabellesprincess may have found quick ground against her when favourite at Wexford and her overall form puts her in the picture. King Willie showed improved form when stepped up to this trip last time and could prove best of the remainder.
