Hansard was beaten a long way at Gowran last month. Tom Cooper has booked Derek O'Connor for Icare D'aubrelle, a half-brother to a useful Flat and hurdles performer, but SCHOLES is a half-brother to four winners on the Flat and should have more basic speed than most of these so gets the nod providing the ground doesn't turn testing. Trust Me Nate is also bred for the Flat being by Nathaniel out of a mare who won over 1m4f and he has Jamie Codd in the saddle. Mitiva is related to four winners on the Flat and over hurdles.
