Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Beau Coup, Ramblees Holly, Native Eire and In Good Faith and the tentative vote goes to Beau Coup. The selection showed improved form to win last time out when defeating Ask For Luck and he need only reproduce that effort to score. Ramblees Holly rates the main danger on his latest third behind Forever Eyesofblue and he has dropped to a handy mark. Native Eire has been in fair form over fences of late and returns to hurdling on a lenient mark but his efforts over hurdles before has left plenty to be desired and he is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder In Good Faith is from a yard in form and is on a good mark but he looks to have regressed and for the winner we return to Beau Coup.
