In depth
Verdict
Dasmyhoss made a reasonable start at Leopardstown in January and will undoubtedly have come on for the experience but Alaliya ran over hurdles at Gowran last week. Discorama is a half-brother to two winning bumpers in France and looks one to keep an eye on as does Spin A Yarn, who is from a smart jumping family. Jamie Codd's presence should ensure the 60,000 euros Vladakar is well supported but the vote goes to NEVSKY, a half-brother to seven winners in France including a Listed winner on the Flat.
