Verdict
SOIR DE GARDE makes obvious appeal on paper as a half-brother to connections' top-class hurdler State Man and he's taken to make the perfect start here under Patrick Mullins. Kalypso'chance, a winner of his only start in British points, is another to note, along with W B Easy who shaped well on his sole outing in bumpers here back in the spring.
