Henry De Bromhead has four entries with Rachael Blackmore choosing Le Musigny, a lightly-raced winning hurdler whose two runs over fences have been in strong company and could be well handicapped on 131. Benruben looks best of the remainder from the yard after a comfortable victory at Down Royal but BATTLEOVERDOYEN is a Grade 1 winner over hurdles and fences and has also won a point-to-point and a bumper. He disappointed when last of six in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse but has been given plenty of time to recover his form and looks the one to beat. Andalusa and Valdieu are both capable of running well in an interesting handicap.
