Verdict
FLYING SCOTSMAN (NAP) completed a double at Galway last summer when last in action on the Flat. He’s won two of three outings over hurdles so far this year and Joseph O’Brien’s charge will likely show further progress back under this code. Apollinaire has switched yards having won over 6f at Windsor last time while Haydock novice winner Bringsty is another debuting for new connections and making his handicap debut along with Stylistic Approach. The latter won a maiden at Gowran back in April and is preferred to Offiah but Privilege is fitted with a hood after disappointing at Leopardstown.
