La Vita Nova filled the runner-up spot over 1m6f here last month with COMMON PRACTICE just over a length behind in third and Brosna Town close up in fourth. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding has been mainly campaigned over jumps in the past few years and is now fitted with blinkers for the first time after finishing strongly on that latest start. Nans View progressed well last year winning twice on soft ground and now tries this trip for the first time after staying on well into second over 1m6f at Navan earlier this month. Jabbar is another to bear in mind. |
A host of the field can be given chances but it is TOO BOSSY FOR US last seen finishing midfield under tender handling at Grade 1 level over hurdles who appeals most on his first flat run for this yard. He boasts some strong handicap form from the UK last year including in the Melrose and he also finished ahead of this year's Chester Cup winner prior to that. He has an absence to overcome but his top jumps yard can get them ready and the booking of William Buick suggests another big run is expected. La Vita Nova finished ahead of a number of these last time and is open to plenty of further improvement on just her second handicap run and first attempt at 2m so she may provide the biggest challenge. Gentleman Joe proved his well being when making a winning reappearance and is entitled to come on for that outing. He's not open to improvement likely many of his rivals but should be able to fight for a place off this mark. |

La Vita Nova filled the runner-up spot over 1m6f here last month with COMMON PRACTICE just over a length behind in third and Brosna Town close up in fourth. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding has been mainly campaigned over jumps in the past few years and is now fitted with blinkers for the first time after finishing strongly on that latest start. Nans View progressed well last year winning twice on soft ground and now tries this trip for the first time after staying on well into second over 1m6f at Navan earlier this month. Jabbar is another to bear in mind. |
A host of the field can be given chances but it is TOO BOSSY FOR US last seen finishing midfield under tender handling at Grade 1 level over hurdles who appeals most on his first flat run for this yard. He boasts some strong handicap form from the UK last year including in the Melrose and he also finished ahead of this year's Chester Cup winner prior to that. He has an absence to overcome but his top jumps yard can get them ready and the booking of William Buick suggests another big run is expected. La Vita Nova finished ahead of a number of these last time and is open to plenty of further improvement on just her second handicap run and first attempt at 2m so she may provide the biggest challenge. Gentleman Joe proved his well being when making a winning reappearance and is entitled to come on for that outing. He's not open to improvement likely many of his rivals but should be able to fight for a place off this mark. |

La Vita Nova filled the runner-up spot over 1m6f here last month with COMMON PRACTICE just over a length behind in third and Brosna Town close up in fourth. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding has been mainly campaigned over jumps in the past few years and is now fitted with blinkers for the first time after finishing strongly on that latest start. Nans View progressed well last year winning twice on soft ground and now tries this trip for the first time after staying on well into second over 1m6f at Navan earlier this month. Jabbar is another to bear in mind. |
A host of the field can be given chances but it is TOO BOSSY FOR US last seen finishing midfield under tender handling at Grade 1 level over hurdles who appeals most on his first flat run for this yard. He boasts some strong handicap form from the UK last year including in the Melrose and he also finished ahead of this year's Chester Cup winner prior to that. He has an absence to overcome but his top jumps yard can get them ready and the booking of William Buick suggests another big run is expected. La Vita Nova finished ahead of a number of these last time and is open to plenty of further improvement on just her second handicap run and first attempt at 2m so she may provide the biggest challenge. Gentleman Joe proved his well being when making a winning reappearance and is entitled to come on for that outing. He's not open to improvement likely many of his rivals but should be able to fight for a place off this mark. |
