A typically tough contest with a maximum field going to post in a race that novices have done well in with the best of those looking to be Grand Annual third Brelan D’As. The Grand Annual has often proved a good guide to this and that brings Forest Bihan into this he’s always looked one who will appreciate a flatter track that he will get here. Weight has proved tough to carry in this but Lady Buttons who should be suited by this test may be able to overcome her big weight with the runner-up for the last two year’s Theinval also in contention. A return to 2m will suit EAMON AN CNOIC after his excellent Festival run with Moon Over Germany and Adrrastos two to note at bigger prices.
