TURNANDGO would be a certainty here if repeating his close second to The Tullow Tank at Naas in November 2013 but hasn't been seen since falling at Clonmel the following month when at odds of 1/10. He's still only seven and has two Grade 1 entries at Punchestown so must win this to justify those ambitions. Casual Approach has a fitness advantage having just been touched off in a Gowran bumper last month while The Mighty Milan is respected despite failing to enhance his strong bumper form over timber. Burton Hall showed real signs of progress at Downpatrick last month and can get into the action.
