7/4
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. First run since leaving Eugene O'Sullivan when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, soft) 79 days ago, finishing strongly. Significantly up in trip. Raised 11 lb but it's likely he has more to offer.

Forecasts

Aspurofthemoment (7/4), Mellem (11/2), Pebble Bleu (6/1), Le Bugiste (6/1), Technology (13/2), Our Soldier (11/1), Not May (16/1), Ar Aghaidh (18/1), Captain Porridge (22/1), Politicise (40/1), Noble Expression (80/1)

Verdict

Gavin Cromwell can dominate this handicap, with LE BUGISTE, who shaped well at Down Royal last month, narrowly preferred to unexposed Gowran scorer Aspurofthemoment. Cork runner-up Not May looks best of the remainder.

  1. Le Bugiste6/1
  2. Aspurofthemoment7/4
  3. Not May16/1
