TRIOLET was well beaten in a much more competitive race at Roscommon last time, but prior to that he had been in good form and this should be well within his scope. The main threat is likely to come from Cesar Et Rosalie who had been running well in similar contests in the spring and now steps up in trip. What Happens Now has had some success over fences but finished well beaten on his return to hurdling at Worcester last month, while Sir Tommy has looked ordinary so far and Solway Palm is making his first racecourse appearance.
