4/6

21/1, fourth in 14-runner listed newcomers race at Auteuil (4½ lengths behind Autocrat, held up and staying on) early in 2019/20, only outing over hurdles. Seems sure to improve for new yard despite the absence and leading claims.

Forecasts

Aime Desjy (4/6), Maidenstreetprince (13/2), Mister Beeton (17/2), Blossom De Mai (9/1), Gallant Flame (11/1), Up And Out (12/1), Desertmore House (20/1), Le Fanu (28/1), Bessy Bradley (33/1), Rock Sunday (33/1), Righteous Ruane (50/1), Tomas O Maille (66/1), Glanaree (100/1), Carraig Gorm (150/1), Gainstown (200/1), Arnegleggn (250/1)

AIME DESJY is the obvious port of call despite his mammoth absence. He showed plenty first time up over hurdles in France in September 2019 and should be a banker for a bumper like this for his new yard if all is well. Blossom de Mai is a big player for new connections herself after a good start at Kilbeggan, while Gallant Flame is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
