Verdict
There isn't too much to go on with those who have experience and this looks destined for a newcomer with BOSMAN RULE fitting the bill. Willie Mullins' charge is a half-brother to seven winners including Gold Cup hero Kicking King and looks to have been found a nice opportunity to make a winning start. Lo Siento is a half-brother to the useful Luska Lad so he's one to watch out for though the one with the pedigree for this is Calau, a half-brother to five winners and out of a mare who won the German Oaks. Littlegrace Lady ran quite well on her debut here last month and should come out best of those with a run under thir belts.
