Verdict

COLMS DREAM (NAP) started his winning run over fences on a mark of 95 and is now on 139 after four victories and falling in the other two. He reverts to hurdles on 45lb lower than fences so is impossible to oppose. Lisclogher Lad didn't run well at Navan last time after a much better effort there earlier while Troll D'oudairies has had 26 career starts and has yet to win. Incitatum makes his handicap debut and has a tough task at the weights against the selection while Augher Castle's victory at Navan came on very heavy ground.
