Verdict
KASHMIRI SUNSET was an odds-on flop in his last two starts in March but the dual Flat winner doesn't look to have much to beat. Leopards Leap had shown a bit of potential in bumpers before a poor run over three miles at Bellewstown so this trip may prove more to the liking of Noel Meade's grey. Sizing Brisbane did better at Cork last time but the half-brother to Grand National hero Rule The World should do better when tackling fences.
