Gracemeadow showed some ability when third at Ayr on her debut but OSMOTIC finished fourth at Limerick on his introduction and both placed horses have subsequently won. Gordon Elliott’s charge gets the vote on the strength of that form. Better is expected from point-to-point winner Silver Sheen given his saddle slipped at Punchestown last week on his debut under Rules while the newcomer Coeur Serein cost €72,000 as a three-year-old and makes his belated debut. Tecumseh Sherman is a half-brother to the useful hurdler Barker and L'scroc is the first foal of a winner over fences in France.
