Verdict
Inchidaly Copper completed a hat-trick between the flags early last summer before scoring over hurdles at Downpatrick though hasn't run for over a year. Winnie Woodnutt went up 9lb for landing a Kilbeggan handicap but has continued to run well and probably has more to offer. Tango Theatre is generally thereabouts but a record of 0-14 is off-putting and C'EST QUELQU'UN (NAP) looks to have stronger claims. A winner over hurdles and fences in the UK, he made a promising debut for Gordon Elliott over a trip much too short at Downpatrick and can go one better. Galmar produced a much-improved effort at Tipperary and can get into contention.
