REINE ANGEVINE won a Killarney bumper at the end of last month and should make a decent novice hurdler. She has more scope than Ballinrobe third Enchanted Forest, who is still chasing a first win of any description after 16 career starts. Man Of God won a maiden on the Flat for John Gosden but never really kicked on from that on the level and his form has followed a similar path over timber following a debut fifth at Killarney in May. Love Rory has won between the flags but his long term future surely lies over fences and further while George Fernbeck needs to brush up his jumping.
