Bleu D'enfer looks a little flattered by his handicap mark and is thoroughly exposed but is still probably the pick of Stuart Crawford’s trio. Jem In Em disappointed in a handicap last time after placing at Kelso and Musselburgh around the turn of the year but Cream Of The West showed some promise on his debut under Rules at Ayr after a lay-off. INVICTUS WORLD has an absence to overcome but it will be a surprise if the Navan bumper winner is coming here unprepared.
