Berry Des Aulmes has started favourite in four of his five starts since arriving in this country but was beaten 20 lengths when second again at Tramore on New Year’s Day and is now tried in cheekpieces. Moroval may be improving with experience and the Limerick third should again benefit from Dylan Robinson’s 5lb claim. Ask Nile has shown promise in all three starts over timber so shouldn’t be far away if handling this easier surface but there should be more to come from MR CHAMPERS now he has a few hurdles to jump. Adrian Keatley’s gelding struggled for pace in bumpers so the step up in distance should prove ideal. So Sorry Sarah has ability but Joseph O’Brien’s mare is proving hard to place.
