Verdict

The Denis Hogan-trained/ridden Turbine and fourth on debut behind subsequent winner Monatonic, Kellyiscool can give a good account of themselves here continuing their improvement but may face stiff opposition from KURAKA on return to hurdling following a spin on the AW at Dundalk in February. The Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old has shown plenty of promise and is likely to be a warm order here.
  1. Kuraka
  2. Turbine
