Caolaneoin ran a solid race when fourth in a valuable handicap last month and shouldn’t be easily looked over now racing off a 4lb lower mark. Heron Heights is greatly respected a novice going the right way but it must be a concern he drops to two-miles for this. Henry De Bromhead's charge has won over 2m3f but his hurdling form at this trip doesn’t inspire confidence. Instead the vote goes to another handicap debutant in VENT DE LA COTE, who was untroubled in winning over fences at Ballinrobe on his sole previous try. He has to prove his fitness but could prove up to it with conditions in his favour. Previous C&D winner Black Zero will also be better suited at this trip than on his follow-up last time. 1.
