Verdict
SANDYGATE posted a an improved effort when third over track and trip in May and Ciaran Gethings' allowance further helps his cause. He gets the vote though bumper winner Bon Enfant and Danvinnie make their hurdling debuts and are ones to note while point-to-point winner Doitforthevillage has his first start under Rules. Threebarmymen never figured on his recent hurdling bow but Repeat The Feat is from a yard in form and could go well with Conor Shoemark on board.
