Verdict
Henry De Bromhead has had a fabulous week and it would be no surprise to see Sizing Symphony improve for his two runs to date though he's shown very little. Wing It Lady was narrowly beaten by Dazzling Suzie in a Thurles bumper in January and started favourite to reverse the form at Punchestown last month but finished even further behind. Eirland ran well behind Tusa Eire on his bumper debut but didn't enjoy the heavy ground on his next start. He should make a jumper and go well here but the experience of Indubitably and STEELE'S ROCK should prevail with preference for the latter as he has proved much the more consistent of the pair.
