Verdict
Oromo won at Perth before finishing second to Glendaars Warrior at Down Royal. The latter was beaten more than four lengths by BREESY MOUNTAIN (NAP) at Punchestown in December and Shane Crawley’s charge had just taken the measure of the in-form Scotch Quay at Fairyhouse last month when falling at the last – compensation awaits here. Deburrafield has only run three times over hurdles so still has some scope while Whatsinthecorner wasn’t beaten far at Roscommon on Monday, though was behind Tintown Robin over course and distance in November.
