Going - Yielding, Yielding to Soft in places (Hurdle); Yielding to Soft (Chase) changed to Soft on both tracks after Race 1. Cold

Formscan By Donal Murphy - BOSSOFTHEBROWNIES proved himself as a force to be reckoned with in the staying division when a close third in a Grade 2 contest at Punchestown last month. Finishing strongly, he was just a short head behind Koktail Divin, with that one since impressing at Leopardstown over Christmas. Flicker Of Hope has been a real stable star for Mark Fahey and after finishing an encouraging third over a trip short of his optimum on his chase debut at Wexford, he proved tough when making the breakthrough at Fairyhouse last time. Now upped to his favoured distance, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. Getting a weight allowance on account of his age, Kurasso Blue is sure to prove popular with punters and is likely to be very much in contention in the latter stages of this extended three-mile heat.
