Verdict

Seven of the last eight favourites have won this and the market should prove the best guide though it looks more open than in previous years. ROYAL REVEILLE will have no problems with the trip as he scored between the flags at Glenbane last October. His two runs over timber have seen him staying on over two miles so this should prove ideal in the likely testing conditions. He holds Indubitably on his latest run but Couleur De La Loi should prove a threat as he has run as though a longer trip would suit on his last two starts. Luddsdenene has been going well enough to consider and would have finished much closer at Cork on Sunday but for blundering at the last while Eight Is My Number, a bumper winner at Navan early last month, made a fair hurdling debut behind Gagewell Flyer on the same track two weeks later.
