This looks a stronger than average maiden but SOIS GENTIL made a good impression when landing a bumper at Clonmel last month and quickly has her attentions turned to hurdles. She's handed the vote though Monkshood also won by a long way on the same track when last seen in February and looks an obvious threat though the ground was heavy that day. Go Another One completed a double in bumpers last year and has done well over timber and looks the type to be suited by the trip. Up For Discussion and Getaway Kid both receive an allowance having not won and the latter in particular should be putting that right in the near future.
