Estepona Sun is 0-16 over hurdles but has placed 12 times and won twice on the Flat. However, others are far less exposed and Charles Byrnes’ charge carries a penalty in races like this. The Last Mardi also shoulders 8lb extra having won two bumpers last year and he hasn’t run since September, though Ben Harvey takes off 5lb. Lazer Wolf improved on his debut when fourth at Kilbeggan earlier this month but RING O ROSES looks the one to be on. Henry De Bromhead’s mare was a fair third on debut at Navan and was just touched off when favourite at Downpatrick subsequently.
