Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
Classy on the Flat and over hurdles, CAPE GENTLEMAN lacks experience over the larger obstacles but his young handler is a superb target trainer and, if avoiding serious errors on the way around, the Champs Elysees gelding has the talent to go close. Having won his first two starts over fences, he wasn't disgraced behind smart novice Riviere D'etel when trying to give her plenty of weight and then tipped up when fancied for the Drinmore in November. His absence since is no concern and last year's fine third in the Galway Hurdle shows that this track holds no fears for him. Emmet Mullins also has last year's fourth The Shunter who, along with last year's in-form runner-up Easy Games, has to be respected as well. It's 1990 since a five-year-old won this but Hurricane Georgie was impressive in the Midlands National and it's not hard to envisage her finishing well on the long run-in. Discordantly has a C&D win to his name and could go well at a price having been second to last year's Plate
