Ammes (G)
[V1]
Useful Flat performer who chased home Minella Study in hat-trick bid at Wetherby in October, and the addition of first-time visor at least looks a positive, having jumped poorly when well held in Fred Winter last time.

Aqua Bleu (G)
Likeably professional for one so lightly raced and he improved to make it a hat-trick in junior hurdles at Chepstow in mid-February, though finds himself in much deeper waters now.

| 3rd | 3 | — |
Indian River (G)
Progressed to make it a hat-trick over hurdles on Sedgefield handicap bow and ran as well as could be expected in Grade 1 company when tenth of 20 in the Triumph at Cheltenham. This demands a lot more, though.

Lord (G)
[P1]
Resumed winning ways when making all in C&D listed juvenile on second start for current yard and did all he could giving weight away to a speedier rival at Musselburgh in late-January. Cheekpieces go on first time, but he's likely to prove…

Maestro Conti (G)
Scopey, fast-improving sort who did remarkably well (refused to settle) to make 3-3 on Trials Day at Cheltenham before enhancing his reputation when runner-up in the Triumph last time, finishing ahead of 4 of today's rivals. Making only hi…

Minella Study (G)
Has proved most progressive for emerging yard, seeing off Winston Junior in a Cheltenham juvenile hurdle prior to running a stormer to finish third (short head behind Maestro Conti) in the Triumph there last time. Further improvement canno…

| 6th | 7 | — |
Winston Junior (G)
Useful maiden on Flat who has gone from strength to strength over hurdles, galloping inferior rivals into submission at Ascot before bumping into a similarly well-treated rival when second on handicap bow in the Fred Winter. Well worth a g…

Wolf Rayet (G)
[T]
Lightly-raced maiden who benefitted from a patient ride when (200/1) eighth of 20 in a well-run Triumph at Cheltenham, and while that was an improved effort on form, he's most likely booked for minor honours again.

R T Dunne | S Drinkwater | 4 | 70.8 kg |

Mange Tout (F)
[H]
Half-sister to Grade 1 winning hurdler/chaser Impaire Et Passe who beat Narciso Has (long-time ante-post Triumph favourite) to make it 3-3, and though unable to confirm that form when third in Leopardstown Grade 1 in early February, she'll…

Selma De Vary (F)

[HT1]
Useful filly split Narciso Has/Mange Tout on first start for Willie Mullins and confirmed herself a much-improved performer when fourth in Triumph at Cheltenham. That performance can be marked up and she makes plenty of appeal with tongue …
