Race preview
Gavin Cromwell's GLOBAL EXPORT is taken to prevail in a race where the market should be informative about a host of newcomers. He has been runner-up in his last two starts in Naas and Fairyhouse and, on both occasions, finished clear of the remainder. Evergreen And Red was only 7/2 for the race in Naas that Global Export was placed in. He weakened to finish eighth but can improve. It is worth noting that he won twice on the Flat. Cromwell takes the wraps off Pure Sirloin who is a full brother to Jimmy Two Times who won four times over hurdles including a Grade B handicap hurdle. Devils Cape looks to be the pick of the Gordon Elliott pair on jockey bookings. Henry de Bromheads's Pidoyne is another to check for market confidence.
