Homme D'Un Soir (5/4), Quite Incredible (7/2), Light Brigade (4/1), Miss Seery (9/2), Nancy Miles (20/1), Leading Line (25/1), Pass It On (33/1), Aodhan May (33/1), Grimm Star (50/1)

Verdict

HOMME D'UN SOIR comes from the stable who landed this event two years ago and if market vibes are positive then it could go the way of a Gordon Elliott runner once again. The gelding is a fairly bred Frence type who will likely know here job and given the paucity of quality in opposition he could make a winning debut. Pass It On, one of the few with racecourse form, led for a long way on her debut at Naas in early January and there is no reason why she would not be open for improvement. Quite Incredible is bred to do well in this type of contest and hails from a stable who send out their fair share of bumper winners.
