REDEMPTION SONG won a point at Dowth Hall in October and was noted making strong late headway on her bumper debut at Doncaster last month. That could be good enough for this and she holds Our Belle Amie on that run. Harrisons Promise was an 80/1 chance on her opening run at Newcastle where she went a long way clear before fading and headed inside the final furlong. Irish raider Questionation was beaten a long way at Navan but Barry Geraghty is hanging around for the ride so better must be expected. Birch Vale hails from a yard in form and is the first foal of a winning hurdler while Cockley Beck is a half-sister to a winning chaser.
