Race Analysis
ESPRESSO MILAN (1) finished seventh last time here eight months ago. Since left the stable of Fergal O'Brien to join the all conquering Willie Mullins. Looks an obvious contender making hurdle debut. BLUE VELVET (5) provided fair form when a solid third in a jumpers flat at Naas beaten 7L. Holds ability and worth including now hurdling. NEWBROOK DIAMOND (2) has made a promising start to his career. Won a point to point at Oldcastle then produced a good second tackling a maiden hurdle at Naas four weeks ago. Open to improvement. FLY AWAY HOME (7) is yet to race. By the sire Wings Of Eagles. Nicely bred and worth noting.
