Verdict

Jumping cost MINELLA SUITE when last seen in March. He will likely have done plenty of schooling since however and is clearly on a mark where he can make his presence felt if indeed he jumps better. Another who looks well handicapped is Achill Road Boy and the stiff climb for home will be where his stamina can come to the fore. Roxyfet is a potentially very well handicapped horse too and mustn't be dismissed.
  1. Minella Suite
  2. Achill Road Boy
  3. Roxyfet
