Verdict

Island Heights wasn't winning out of turn at Musselburgh in February but the runner-up has failed to frank the form and he has 8lb more to carry here. Purcell's Bridge is probably on a decent mark but is much better suited by soft ground while Leighinmohr may have been a lucky winner last time at Clonmel. A clear round would see the versatile Waltz Darling play a part, however, and Gunna Be A Devil arrives off the back of a win at Taunton and makes more appeal than Hellorboston, who hasn't really taken to fences so far. BIG SOCIETY is still a maiden over fences but has been knocking on the door. He is only a pound higher than when a close-up third in this last year and his turn may finally have arrived.
