Verdict

OUTBACK FLYER wasn't up to a listed bumper last time but the form he showed when fourth at Galway in the autumn suggests he could prove up to winning a race like this. The Blind Piper rates a danger after a pair of course fourths this winter, while L'yser improved again at Punchestown last time and could have an even better performance in him now.
