Verdict

Enfant Du Mou is bred to be a chaser as he showed with an easy victory between the flags in the UK last December and has joined the champion trainer. Time To Get Up couldn't get close to the winner over 2m4f at Tipperary in July last year but stayed on nicely while Judex Lefou was also running on nicely over 2m at Galway last time. Mr Hendricks won a Kirkistown point by 15l in March and is one to note but ALPINE COBRA has performed with credit in two recent starts following a long break and looks the one to beat. Big Tree was engaged in the 3.10 here yesterday.
