Verdict

BIOLUMINESCENCE produced a promising first effort over hurdles when second over 2m at Navan in November and can go one better with this longer trip likely to suit on pedigree. Cork runner-up Paggane rates an obvious danger for the Willie Mullins team, while Henry de Bromhead point recruit Tareze would also need considering if the betting suggests she's fancied.
