Verdict

The King Of Prs has gradually got his act together and came good at Punchestown. He has an 8lb rise to contend with and the likes of Razdan, Ventnor and Single Edition are capable of a big run, particularly the latter who has had a recent run at Dundalk to blow the cobwebs away. However, this revolves around FIRSTMAN (NAP), who has been in excellent form at Dundalk, scoring three times since September and placed in his last two starts. He hasn't shown much over hurdles which is why he's on a very tempting mark.
