Verdict
The Jonjo O'Neill-trained Renvyle really caught the eye when getting off the mark at Newton Abbot at the start of the month and he looks to be one keep on the right side of for the time being. Bula's Quest, as the only other previous winner in the race is obviously respected a the biggest danger. However, the rest with previous experience do not look to be anything out of the ordinary at this stage so newcomers Donovan, Corrib Eclipse and Initiate are the ones to watch in the betting. But this looks to be a good opportunity for the connections of Renvyle to pick up another quick return on their investment; in spite of the gelding's 7lb penalty.
