Egyptian Warrior has been staying on at one pace in bumpers so may find a couple of these too quick. GRECIAN TIGER has also been racing in bumpers but his overall form is much stronger having finished a close third in a Listed contest. This shouldn't take much winning and he's handed the vote. Miss Ekaterina made a promising debut at Dundalk in April but her two later efforts have shown no improvement but Jolaine has been performing with credit over hurdles.
