This shouldn't take much winning and Robin Des Mana has the best piece of form though that isn't saying much. His third at Punchestown in October would be good enough but he finished last on his next start a month later and hasn't run since. Aye Paddy Too makes a quick reappearance after finishing fifth here last week, his first start since December, but none of the remainder with experience make any appeal. Qery has a nice pedigree and is worth noting in the market but Stuart Crawford does well here and though the yard hasn't been in the best of form so far this summer OUR VALENTINA has the right credentials for this being related to two winning bumpers and is taken to make a successful debut.
