Dushrembrandt, a progressive hurdler, finished tailed off last of the three finishers on his debut over fences at Fairyhouse where he didn't look a natural. This isn't the greatest of races but he'll need to do much better. Leading The Life was struggling when falling in that race and, though a point-to-point winner, his form over regulation fences is very moderate. Milan Breeze was a 100/1 chance when an excellent third to a couple of decent rivals at Gowran last month. That was his first sign of ability and with this longer trip likely to suit he's a threat to all. Dawerann should improve for his debut here last month though he's never run beyond the minimum trip in 14 career starts. CADSPEED will never be a stable star but won't get a better opportunity to lose his maiden tag over fences and his close third to Ned Buntline at Navan in December is the pick of the form on offer so he's handed the vote.
