Hazeymm has taken very well to hurdling and has won his last two in very good style. Dusty Trail has won five of his last six starts over timber and on the level but has plenty to find on official ratings while Baracas was undone by sticky jumping when beaten by Golden Grimshaw at Down Royal and will need to do better against these. Cass Bligh was a big disappointment when odds-on at Bangor but Jessica Harrington's mare Takeyourcapoff scored by 14 lengths at Bellewstown and gets enough allowances to be competitive. BALLYADAM BROOK has to concede weight all round but looks up to the task. A maiden point-to-pointer he's improved with every run over timber and it was a classy performance to beat Final Day at Galway with the rest well beaten off.
