In depth

Verdict

L'aigle Royal won over hurdles in France back in May and has since joined John Quinn. But he's penalised for that success and is having his first start since July. SINDARBAN has also changed hands having been placed in all three starts on the Flat in Ireland. Donald McCain's charge is preferred to other hurdling newcomers Porthos Du Vallon and Strategic Island and can make a winning start over timber. Announcement and Istimraar have yet to threaten over hurdles.
