SOIR DE GARDE (5) is a son of Kapgarde and half-brother to Champion Hurdle winner State Man. His trainer has not won this race since 2014. Tipped to reverse that trend on debut. Trainer Gordon Elliott relies on point-to-point winner KALYPSO'CHANCE (3) where a close market check is advised ahead of debut under rules. GOLDINTHEVALLEYS (2) is by a top flat sire. Cost plenty at the sales and dangerous to ignore debuting. W B EASY (8) performed creditably finishing fifth of twenty five as a debutante at Punchestown. Improvement may follow.
