Race preview
LAST KINGDOM can defy a 13lb rise following an effortless debut handicap win at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. A debut French bumper winner last August, his initial three hurdle efforts were dull but at Fairyhouse was far more encouraging, scoring at his leisure and in the manner of a progressive four-year-old. The runner-up Stuntman Steve again ran well the following day and while 13lb better off with the selection, he is open to less progression. Top-weight Batman Girac is respected as well.
