Going - Yielding to Soft, soft in places. Overcast

Formscan By Tom Weekes - KOKTAIL BRUT looked a capable beast when scoring on his recent hurdling debut and is suited by today’s trip and going. While his bumper form lacked some class, the manner in which he scored at Punchestown earlier this month was impressive, as he reversed bumper-form with that race’s runner-up Colcannon, and the pair finished clear of the remainder. Love Me Tender has impressed in three good-ground wins and while his nimble jumping has been straight and true, softer ground is a concern for him in today’s hot race. Eachtotheirown, Gameball and Sageborough are each promising but nonetheless step up following recent maiden wins.
