Verdict

ALPHONSE LE GRANDE took a while to click but he's thriving now and, having scored at Newcastle last month, he's fancied to land the four-timer back on home soil. Lot of Joy is well treated on hurdling form and looks a big player, as does Eniskerry on his Flat handicap debut.

  1. ALPHONSE LE GRANDE (IRE)
