This looks a very moderate maiden and affords GOLD DES BOIS a chance to get off the mark under Rules. A winner between the flags, he will have found 2m too short when fourth behind Entoucas in a big field at Naas and this looks more like his trip. Handsworth ran much better than his 100/1 SP would suggest at Leopardstown in December while Golden Apples is the type to improve for her hurdles debut at Roscommon. Ekanse is another likely to do better now tackling a more suitable trip while Amber Wings has shown a bit of potential in bumpers.
