FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Philip Rothwell is two-handed here, and Paul Nolan has got Wild Desire and first reserve Cash Me Outside in the mix. Credit is due to those involved with getting Oscar Sam back on track, for the first time since Christmas 2017. Of course Irish Grand National hero from 2017, Our Duke, ran with distinction for the same owner/breeders, until meeting an unfortunate and premature demise in 2018. It’s not ideal coming here on the back of a fall but EPSON DU HOUX gets the nod. A course winner of a maiden hurdle, Henry de Bromhead’s representative would seem to have more scope for progression than these rivals. Whereyounow is interesting on chase debut. He’d likely want a longer trip to be seen at his best.
