FormscanBy Michael Graham - LE GRAND VERT appeals on this drop in trip. He was outgunned in second over further on his latest start in this discipline at Sligo in October, however, he travelled notably well on that good ground. Jockey Alex Harvey is getting a tune from Bite That as the pair took the runner-up berth at Gowran Park and at this track last month. This is a step up in trip from those races, but he does have a placed effort in the book over a similar distance at Wexford. Crowsatedappletart is eminently capable on a going day and a big run wouldn't be surprising, while C'est Rien and Game And Glory are others to consider.
