Finian’s Oscar comes here after missing Cheltenham and the fact he's fresh could count for plenty. Messire Des Obeaux ran a terrific race at Cheltenham but he may have had a hard race there. Lough Derg Spirit and Le Breuil both need to improve on what they have shown so far but are likely to do so but the vote goes to BRIO CONTI stepping up out of handicap company but full of potential.
