Verdict

LITTLE STEVIE was well clear when falling at the last here in March and may have been feeling the effects when beaten at odds-on at Kilbeggan. He did much better when chasing home Sound Money at Killarney in May and can get off the mark. Cadeau Du Bresil has done well between the flags considering he's related to winning chasers so he's one for the shortlist while Hickey's Rock made an encouraging start in a similar race here last month and with improvement guaranteed should get into the action. Bensachuine has become expensive to follow in bumpers but he's a brother to winning jumper Beautiful Ben.
