COEUR D'OR stepped forward from his first outing of the season with a creditable effort at Leopardstown 9 days ago and he could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark with blinkers applied. He gets the vote ahead of Quatre Bras who has been shaping up well this year, with Iron Fist and Akecheta completing the shortlist.

About The Selections
Johnny Ward
Quatre Bras He can only be a decent price, given how competitive this is. Note how he came home in Leopardstown and it goes without writing it: Reese Hoolohan is terrific value for a 7lb claim.
Katie Midwinter
Apercu From a mark only 1lb higher than her last win, the six-year-old mare is a course and distance winner with plenty in her favour down in grade.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Amplitude might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: Quatre Bras might not benefit from being ridden as far back as usual for all the gallop is likely to be a reasonable one.
