Progressive in a trio of hurdle outings, KURASSO BLUE has made a bright start over fences in recent months, building on his good Thurles second when running out a convincing winner of a Punchestown maiden 24 days ago. Every inch the type to progress further, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid in receipt of weight all round. Flicker of Hope shades preference over Bossofthebrownies for forecast purposes.
