Top Coeur
Selected at:
3/1
Top Coeur ran three times for Gavin Cromwell and he was third behind the useful Santo Sospir in a Punchestown bumper on debut. Third in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time out, he makes his stable and handicap debut off 119 here. It would be no surprise if that proves to be a fairly generous opening mark.
