Verdict
MIGHTY BLUE, rated 106 on the Flat after landing a Gowran Listed race, was placed in the Grade 2 Dawn Run at Cheltenham last March, form that would be good enough for this. Goven, twice a winner on heavy ground on the Flat in France, just failed to hold Hiaou in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last month and will be winning soon while the winner's yard is represented by A Fortune Out West, who went for £90,000 after winning between the flags on the Punchestown point-to-point course in May.
