Formscan - Let Him B may prove a popular choice after an impressive win at Cork last month, but he has to back that up after a 16lb rise and against stronger opposition. With that in mind, KOCKTAIL BLEU gets the nod. Chris Gordon's gelding displayed a smart level of form in his novice hurdle campaign and returned with a solid effort when fourth in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow. Maldini Milano won twice here last season and has to be open to further improvement.

Quotes on Let Him B (IRE)
He ran well. He is down at 84 (rating) and appreciated the better ground. We'll see if he comes out again soon - he had a small bit of tendon issues, and we have to mind him a bit. We'll give him to this grade for the time being and he will probably jump a fence.
