Verdict
Curling is consistent enough but a bit of a plodder and may find the ground too quick. Jakros was a very progressive bumper who hasn't shown too much on both hurdling starts but should do better while Micks, a winner between the flags at Leadington in January, can make his presence felt on his hurdling debut for Christy Roche. Up Ou That is slowly getting his act together over timber and will have found the minimum trip too short at Ballinrobe last month. He's a big threat but Paul Rothwell could have a very useful performer on his hands in DIVINE RHAPSODY, who landed a strong bumper on his debut here last April and ran very well in the Cheltenham Festival Bumper in March.
