Verdict

This represents a good opportunity for SAINT LE FORT, who confirmed the promise of his Punchestown hurdles debut when third in a listed bumper at Limerick during the spring. He is likely to improve now returned to this sphere and can consign In The Trenches to another defeat. The latter is not short of ability but patience is starting to wear thin given that he was turned over at odds of 6/4 or less for the fourth time at Wexford last month. Newcomer Native Sparkle is one to note in the betting.

  1. SAINT LE FORT (FR)
  2. IN THE TRENCHES
  3. NATIVE SPARKLE (IRE)
