Verdict

Bothair Clei is still a maiden under Rules but his latest third at Limerick was an improved effort and he's only a pound higher here. Milestone Miss was third in a maiden hurdle over course and distance last month and has place claims again as she was seventh at Cork earlier in a race in which STERLING STUFF was a faller. However, Robert Tyner's charge would have been placed at least had he not come down and he's won over fences here since in impressive fashion. Though 7lb higher now, he looks the one to beat. Pint Of Porter sprang a surprise at Navan in November but reverted to type again at Fairyhouse subsequently and Drive On Locky would need three to come out to get a run.
