In depth
Verdict
Soul Kaliber is taking a long time to make his mark over fences and he may do better when getting quicker ground. VENEZIANO SPRINGS (NAP) has made steady progress over fences and would probably have won at Clonmel in March but for a last-fence fall. Providing that hasn't shaken his confidence, he can get off the mark. Fintara eventually finished a distant second in that latter event so looks held but Sir Bob showed much improved form at Limerick last time and it wouldn't take much more to get into the action. Mick The Boyo was in double-winning form over hurdles in January but makes his chasing bow at an advanced age.
