Verdict
CROSSHUE BOY was returning from a three-month break when scoring at Leopardstown. He's been hit with a 10lb rise, which looks harsh, though he had a bit in hand and can follow up. It's a long time since Burning Issues showed any real form, though he's changed stables which may help, and Soul Kaliber has shown very little sign of ability over fences. Getoutwhenyoucan has won seven times over hurdles, including here and at Limerick in December. He showed the occasional sign of ability over fences earlier and looks the main threat as Consharon Boy has become disappointing.
