A race for horses who have never been placed. Our Uncle Jack has come closest having finished fourth in two bumpers and on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse though he never got into contention. BLUE IN THE WEST has won between the flags and a close fifth in a handicap here in August would probably be good enough. Granpa Ger struggled to stay in heavy conditions at Gowran but the shorter trip should help while Ivar The Boneless had three runs in France back in 2021 and has joined Gavin Cromwell.
