Verdict

OUR THREE SONS, runner-up over 1m6f on his debut here in April, can put his experience to good use to get the better of stable companion Belcanto and Fountains Windfall. The latter may need further than this but Maigh Dara could be a danger given he's had just the one start for Lydia Richards and won at Downpatrick last year for Kieran Purcell. Lovely Bubbly is bred to jump hurdles so is also worth a second look as is Misterton, who is a half-brother to Flat and hurdles winner Java Rose.
