Verdict
Barel Of Laughs was in fine form last summer but shot up the weights as a consequence. Derek O'Connor is a very positive booking and a big run is expected. BUNDLE OF FUN has won twice from three starts over hurdles but never over fences. However, his close third behind Larry Luso over today's C&D on fast ground a year ago would be good enough and hopefully he can gain his first victory. Barnlands Boy gained a shock victory at Down Royal in March but that was on soft ground and this may prove too quick. Give Us A Hand is a tough stayer though he's another who is best with plenty of give while Stonemaster enters the fray having mainly disappointed over fences though he's a massive 19lb lower than over hurdles.
