Verdict

The King Of Brega is defying the years having been dropped back to this trip on good ground to complete a Thurles double. He's now on a career-high mark and this looks tougher. MING DYNASTY (NAP) had plenty in hand when scoring at Naas, his first success over hurdles after six Flat victories. He's gone up 9lb but there looks plenty more in the tank and a double looks on the cards. Curley Bill hasn't run over hurdles since 2013 but returned to the Flat after a very long break with a victory last April so shouldn't be dismissed. Kuiper Belt and Silver Star represent Gordon Elliott and the former, who completed a four-timer on fast going last summer, will relish the conditions.
