Verdict
It's probably fair to say SIR VINCENT didn't find as much as expected off the bridle when going down by a head to Cool Oscar at Gowran earlier this month. That was, however, his first run for almost 10 months and this former bumper winner can be expected to strip a lot fitter this time around. He gets the vote ahead of Got Options, who has proved rather frustrating to follow in her career to date and again found one too good on her debut over timber at Tramore earlier this month. Worldly Wise was a good servant to connections on the level but a recent Tipperary third was the first time he'd suggested he had a future under NH rules, while Punchestown third Steel Park has had more chances than most.
