FormscanBy Tom Weekes - PRINCESS LEYA brings good bumper form into this average contest and should benefit from her initial hurdle debut last month. She looked quite smart when winning her bumper by 19L and while she failed to build on that effort and was well held over hurdles latest, this represents a drop in class. She has done much of her racing on testing ground but did perform well enough in a Listed bumper on goodish ground last November. Four-time Flat winner Italian Riviera, by Galileo, achieved a rating of 80 in that code for Sir Mark Prescott and has proven stamina. He is likely to improve from this hurdle debut but can still figure here. Beautiful Ben was a little keen when racing in rear for much of his debut effort at Tramore recently. He made some late progress in the closing stages and while likely to improve in time, is difficult to assess at present. Manuka, by Galileo, failed to win in 14 Flat starts and while he should like a sound surface, is possibly best watched on his hurdle debut. Reflet Ambre wears a first-time hood on his Irish debut and while he was second and fourth in two French Flat starts, is possibly best watched for now on his first start for a year. Lonan needs to show much more than on his hurdle debut.
