FormscanBy Michael Graham - Gavin Cromwell and Gordon Elliott have landed the last two renewals of this race and field OLE OLE and Manoir De Mirande respectively. The former gets a first-time hood after falling three out when still in touch in the juvenile handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Prior to that, he posted three close second-places and he should be on the premises. Manoir De Mirande has shown a fondness for testing ground in being placed in his last three starts. He is rated 3lb inferior to Ole Ole yet has to give him 8lb under the terms of this race. Cromwell also runs newcomer Messire Des Bordes who has an entry in the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival.
A hurdle for four years old only, maidens at startingWeights - 11st 7lbs. Fillies allowed 7lbs.
