FormscanBy Michael Graham - Gavin Cromwell holds a very strong hand in this qualified riders' handicap hurdle with the top two in the weights. Former point-to-point winner ASPUROFTHEMOMENT graduated to the track with a strong finish to take the honours over the minimum trip at Gowran Park in January. It is reasonable to assume that there could be more to come over staying trips. His stablemate, Le Bugiste, ran on for second at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day and Declan Lavery is a notable jockey booking in this race. Pebble Bleu could be ridden prominently and is in with a shot of picking up prize money.
