Couleur France has been running well in similar events on testing ground so should have no problems getting involved. LEAVETHELIGHTON has been very unfortunate to come up against a couple of useful winners in his two latest starts and shouldn't remain a maiden for much longer. He gets the vote though Quickasyoucan is progressing with each run and his close third behind Man With Van here in December has been boosted by the winner. Six Senses is one to note as he made a fair reappearance after a very long break at Navan in December. His previous run had been when around three lengths behind the classy Boston Bob on the same track two years earlier. Shuilamach had shown some potential in bumpers before a poor effort at Wexford last March and hasn't been seen since.
