Race preview
LINCOLN DU SEUIL has a good profile and has joined top connections since winning a French bumper on debut last March. A half-brother to two useful French jump winners, the selection won a heavy-ground Lignieres bumper on debut, with that form being boosted as the fourth-placed horse scored subsequently and has himself since been bought by leading owner J.P. McManus. The more experienced Lakota Blue is vulnerable to smart types but nonetheless should again run well and holds Out For A Stroll on Punchestown form. Holy See was narrowly beaten by a subsequent Group 3 winner at Chantilly last February and could be useful, while Bacchanalian ran well enough on hurdles debut. Dark Oak and Shoda had Flat ability.
