Form of any kind is very thin on the ground here and this should go to a newcomer. Nashville Swing is out of a winning bumper and hurdler while The Parish Padre is by Derby winner Kris Kin. They are ones to note in the betting though of more interest are Kasszec, by Classic Cliche out of a winning hurdler, and the French-bred ROBIN ANGEVIN, a half-brother to three winners and out of a mare who won two bumpers in France. The latter gets the vote as he hails from the powerul Willie Mullins yard and has the pedigree to go on to much better things.
