Verdict
AU FLEURON went for £220,000 at the sales after landing a Tipperary bumper in March. The form has sent out mixed messages but he's now with Gordon Elliott and will be expected to make a successful debut. The stable also run Bust Or Bray Dee, who looked as though he needed further than this when runner-up at Gowran last month. Hans Gruber was in contention when falling three out at Tramore and was always in touch at Fairyhouse where he looked as though this longer trip would suit. Noah's Light was only beaten just under seven lengths behind the long odds-on Ginto here a fortnight ago and normal progress can see him in the mix.
