A much stronger than average maiden. You Raised Me Up finished second to Arthur's Quay at this fixture a year ago but it was his latest start in February that points to his chances. Beaten just over a length in the Grade B Ladbrokes Handicap he would be very difficult to beat on that form. However, RUN FOR OSCAR looks a very smart prospect having landed a bumper and a conditionals' race on the Flat so he's taken to make his fitness advantage count. Belfast Banter has been a frustrating type but would be up to this providing the ground doesn't ease while Santana Plessis hasn't been beaten far in any of his last five starts and four-times Flat winner Insignia Of Rank looks a smart recruit to hurdling.
