Verdict
Dunbrovic and Duomo Di Milano are well connected newcomers from top yards whose pedigree suggests will be seen to better effect over obstacles. Casson made a decent enough start under Rules behind Bog Warrior at Fairyhouse and the runner-up didn't let the form down on Sunday. Espresso Lady made most on her debut at Punchestown before succumbing in the closing stages and will have come on for the experience, but SKIBOSKI looks the one to be on as he showed the benefit of his opening run with a fine effort behind Castle Wings at Limerick last month.
