LE LABO had matters under control at the point of his final-flight departure at Cork and he will prove a tough nut to crack if able to avoid any mishaps this time. French recruit Laurets d'Estruval made a bright start for present connections when second in a big-field Limerick maiden hurdle and he is an obvious danger, while Maxfort is third on the list ahead of Bulgaden Castle.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A strongly contested lead could count against Laurets D'estruval and Premier Rogue, who are expected to contest that lead: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Playtime and Good Show who can be expected to be ridden with restraint.
Individual Price Hint: Bulgaden Castle traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 3 starts: Premier Rogue has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
