It will look significant if there's confidence behind the Emmet Mullins-trained NENE RIVER in the betting. The 5-y-o was a clear-cut winner of his sole completed start between the flags and this half-brother to the useful Omar Maretti will be of strong interest if the market vibes are indeed upbeat. Ideal de Ciergues has made the frame in maiden hurdles won by subsequent Grade 1 winners Il Etait Temps and Impaire Et Passe, and he is an obvious threat. Valleyoftheeagles is third choice.
