FormscanBy Michael Graham - BLEU BERRY had a touch of class over hurdles and is a fascinating debutant over fences. He is a former Grade 3 Coral Cup winner at the Cheltenham Festival who was last seen winning decisively over flights at Punchestown in May. Willie Mullins has commented before that jumping is his game, so he is sure to be well schooled for this assignment. Conversely, Speak Easy has extensive experience over fences. He is back in beginners' company after running in the Thyestes, the Leinster National and the Killarney National. Rain-softened ground holds no fears for him. Nero Rock can improve on his third start over fences. City Island and Streets Of Doyen (on chasing debut) make this a decent contest.
