Lignou, a dual winner on the Flat, has shown potential in big-field maidens over hurdles and this isn't the toughest of handicaps. CORAL BLUE was behind Great Vizier when both were unplaced at Limerick but produced a much improved run to be beaten a nose in a handicap over this course and distance a fortnight ago and can go one better. Colour Me In is only lightly-raced though hasn't shown enough to be considered but So Enjoy has shown the occasional glimpse of ability.
