2m 3f
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneA weak contest and NEVENDON has good claims if building on his latest outing at Listowel. The half-brother to Prix Morny winner Pretty Pollyannna showed a nice bit of progression from his hurdles debut to finish fourth to Pythion in what looked a better race than this. He's going half a mile further but, being by Nathaniel, one would be hopeful of his stamina holding up. Breffni Brave hasn't been beaten that far in two starts over hurdles and has to considered with his stable going well, while Wicklow Flyer, for the same connections, wasn't disgraced in a bumper and starts off over hurdles here. Ethics Approval had placed form on the Flat in Britain last year and could get involved if taking to jumping, and Maggie Walsh, whose dam was a three-time hurdles winner at this venue, is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
