Dual winner over hurdles but well beaten on her two most recent outings and may struggle to give weight away to her rivals in this.
Ran well when runner-up at Navan earlier this month, step up in trip looks likely to suit and holds today's rival Kalopsia on that form. The one to beat.
Winner of two of his last three starts in handicaps including at Naas at the weekend. Interesting contender for a small yard.
Winner on good ground at Fairyhouse in the autumn, disappointed on heavy at Limerick since and any rain is likely to hinder his chances.
Runner-up on his penultimate outing in a similar race to this, well beaten in the hood & tongue tie combination next time out and interesting that they are retained here.
Forecasts
Charlie Stout (9/4), Aretesone (9/4), Cadeau Du Bresil (5/2), Usurp (6/1), Kalopsia (8/1)
CADEAU DU BRESIL sets the standard here following his solid run in a similar race at Navan last time out. The step up in trip looks likely to suit the gelding and he can see off his four rivals here with the in form Charlie Stout taken to get the better of Usurp who made all for his victory at Fairyhouse in the autumn and may be given an easy lead taken to fill the third placed berth.
1. Cadeau Du Bresil
2. Charlie Stout
3. Usurp
