Verdict
Charles Byrnes has the top two in the weights here and Estepona Sun has been running well over hurdles without winning. Aprils Joy has won around here and wasn't beaten far in the race a year ago but it would be a leap of faith to go with Reflectionist even in this poor race though Colin Keane is a very intriguing booking. Universal Focus, six-times a winner on the level, hasn't shown much in four starts over timber but is on a low enough mark as is JOVEN DE CORAZON (NAP). She'd been well beaten in three maidens before her handicap debut at Roscommon last month where she came from a long way back to finish second. Normal progress can see her go one better.
