In depth

Verdict

Enjoy D'allen made a promising start in handicaps at Naas in March and wouldn't need much more to take this. SOMPTUEUX showed some potential in big fields at the backend of last year and was made a short-priced favourite at Punchestown in February but didn't enjoy the heavy ground. Conditions should be much better here and he can take care of stable companion Minella United. Siberian Star has shown a glimmer of ability and that may be enough to earn a prize.
