KURASSO BLUE was value for a bit extra over the result (closed down only late on when race was already in bag) when making his second chase start a winning one at Puchestown last month and looks capable of following up in receipt of weight all round, especially with the prospect of more to come. Bossofthebrownies and Flicker of Hope are solid rivals having also made bright starts to their chasing careers.
