Masterstonemason is improving with experience and seemingly holds a few of these rivals, including Pronounced and Little Princess, so should surely be on the premises as he seeks to build upon his recent Gowran Park success. However, the most interesting pair are the recently acquired JP McManus owned recruits; Joly Maker and ESPOIR D'ALLEN. Barry Geraghty gets the leg up on the latter named, and this Void Du Nord gelding looks a most interesting recruit to hurdling after scoring on the Flat in the French Provinces at Lignieres in April for Mlle A-S Pacault.
