BOSCO DI ALCO has shown enough to suggest he's capable of winning at this level, especially as he appeared to be enjoying the heavy ground before falling at Leopardstown a week ago. He may just have too much experience for Never Off Duty, a winning point-to-pointer who found the minimum trip too short on his hurdling debut here last month. Jimmy Breekie looks best of the remainder with experience though that isn't saying much while Mallwood is likely to need his first racecourse start.
