Burgas finished just ahead of BURREN LIFE at Naas last time, the pair rather being mugged by cosy winner Discorama late on. Both should be involved again and Davy Russell's mount is favoured. He did plenty in contesting the lead last time and, on just his third chase start, can offer up more still. French import A Plus Tard is much-respected on debut for Henry De Bromhead while Speak Easy is another for the shortlist in what could prove a smart contest. Another Barney and Dr Mikey complete the shortlist in their first forays into this sphere.
