Not disgraced in a couple of defeats in Grade 2 company last month. This looks more in the Lucarno geldings remit and should be in the mix.
Improving sort who is in a rich vein of form right now and has the form to make a bold bid here.
*Well beaten as 4/1f at Navan, Saturday.
Not discredited in a couple of Graded contests recently and the distance winner can't be ruled out in this company.
Ran on well to land a Limerick maiden hurdle over 2m4f last month. Looks a progressive type and worth noting in the betting.
Forecasts
First Approach (6/4), Monbeg Worldwide (2/1), Ronald Pump (4/1), Cool Saint (5/1)
Not entirely disgraced in a Grade 3 at Navan and a Grade 1 contest at Naas recently, FIRST APPROACH can add to his Down Royal hurdle win here, fighting off the expected challenge from the Gordon Elliott-trained Monbeg Worldwide.
