In depth
Verdict
PERES ET FILS, from the family of Kicking King, had a couple of bumper runs back in 2018 but jumping will be his game and he's taken to make a successful start. Farmix was beaten 33 lengths into second when tackling 2m4f here in January but a bad mistake 2 out put paid to his chances and he'll be suited by dropping back in trip. Ruinous was found to be coughing post-race at Navan last month so it's a surprise to see him out so quickly while winning point-to-pointer Groody Rover hasn't shown much in two starts over timber.
