Gavin Cromwell runs three and has a strong hand with Lever Du Soleil and Lady Camelot. The former, a winner for Tim Easterby on the Flat, has done nothing wrong in similar contests and looks certain to get into contention while the latter has been in good form on the Flat all summer without managing a victory. Black Noah has had three recent runs on the level and shown enough to suggest he'll make a hurdler though GOT TRUMPED looks as though he'll take some beating. Jessica Harrington's charge jumped well and led before the last on his hurdling bow at Fairyhouse and though unable to hold off the winner he'll improve for the experience and can go one better. Dawn Hoofer, who was third, came from a long way back and it wouldn't be a shock if she reversed the places while Rocky Blue won a 1m6f Navan handicap by 8l in September so is an obvious one to note on his hurdles debut. Lignou changed hands for E120,000 after two minor victories on the Flat in France and has joined Noel Meade.
