Gaelic Warrior won this last year before setting off for Grade 1 success and his stable run JOLIE COEUR ALLEN here. Runner up in a Fontainebleau bumper last September, she started favourite for an Aintree Grade 2 bumper in April that has worked out brilliantly but weakened in the closing stages. This is not the toughest of starts and she can get on the scoresheet. Soldante began with two good runs in Galway bumpers and should soon find a race over timber but dual point-to-point winner Bloomhill is likely to need much further. Glendine Billy will have benefited from his run in a strong bumper at Clonmel in April and should make progress.
