Verdict
Gordon Elliott’s pair, Coqolino and Torygraph, would enter calculations if getting a run from their reserve spots. Jeremys Flame, rated 136 over timber after finishing second in a Sandown Grade 1, has yet to convince over fences but still has time on his side. Mr Incredible won a maiden hurdle here and looks a chaser as does GENOIS, another winner over timber on the track. The latter just gets the nod in an intriguing contest in which Mercury Lane, a heavy-ground performer, made all for a 28l maiden hurdle victory at Limerick in March. Joseph O’Brien is no stranger to throwing four-year-olds into the fray against older horses so Flat and hurdles winner Persia is an interesting entry.
