Verdict

With his yard continuing in outstanding form, KURAKA will take some beating. Moderate on the Flat for Karl Burke, he made a very promising hurdling debut at Down Royal where he was the only challenger to the long odds-on winner, he should go one better. Acclamatio and his stable companion Fullmoon In Paris, a dual winner on the Flat in France, were beaten a long way that day and looks held though the latter will have undoubtedly come on for the run. Castle Howard is another likely to improve on his run at Fairyhouse where he had Mastermind just behind and both may be capable of reversing places with the more experienced Randalls Ur Poet, who finished third. Buffalo Blues won a claimer on the Flat though that was on fast going.
