French Flat winner DSCHINGIS DRAGON got no further than the first flight on debut in this sphere, but she subsequently put in a clear roud when third at Cork and earns the vote here with the promise of better to come. Newcomers Leonard Vallis, Rackemandstackem and Soldiers Lady all need close attention in the betting, while Stay In The Game has to enter calculations having shaped fairly well on his first run over hurdles at Wexford.
