GERRI COLOMBE made light of an absence when a ready scorer on his debut over hurdles at Down Royal and is impossible to oppose despite saddling a 5 lb penalty. Churchstonewarrior looks the one to chase home Gordon Elliott's unbeaten 6-y-o now he steps back up in trip with C&D winner Idas Boy appealing as the pick of the remainder.
