Verdict

As usual for handicap hurdles of this type this looks to be a competitive affair, where PLINTH holds the most convincing claims. He is on the same mark as when winning narrowly at Killarney last time and with his only poor run recently coming in a Grade 2 where he was simply outclassed, races like this seem a much more appropriate target. The consistent Lachares was behind him at Killarney but always runs his race and should go close again, while Ah Littleluck should be in the battle for a place at least.
  1. Plinth
  2. Lachares
  3. Ah Littleluck
