Verdict

Though she was behind William Of Orange at Wetherby last time out, this can go to IRISH ROE. Peter Atkinson's mare is one of the less exposed runners in this field and has the potential to improve past her re-opposing rival, whose form is generally inconsistent enough to suggest he may struggle to win two in a row, for all he did it nicely last time. Cyrius Moriviere has struggled to find his feet over fences but has solid form over hurdles and represents a more convincing alternative to the selection.
  1. Irish Roe
  2. Cyrius Moriviere
  3. William Of Orange
