LIOSDUIN BHEARNA was sent off favourite for his debut under Rules in a bumper at Southwell last month but found one too good. Connor Brace takes 7lb off his back today and he’s taken to come out best on this occasion and confirm latest running with Voila Eric in the process. Darling Alko is penalised for an earlier success in France and debuts for a new yard while Cosheston and Eurkash are likely improvers. Kensukes Kingdom and Umbrigado have form in point-to-points while Helford River, Oscar Maguire and North Star are all newcomers to note with the latter representing last year’s winning yard.
