Verdict
LE NOUVEAU was sent off a short-priced favourite at Listowel last month but could only manage sixth. More was obviously expected after his highly promising debut and it might be worth giving him another chance even though he finished well behind Noble Birth at Listowel. The Elliott gelding is the obvious danger but all three newcomers are worth a market check. Halligator, a son of Saddler Maker, makes most appeal with Derek O'Connor booked.
