Verdict

Balbir Du Mathan likes to get on with things and will possibly lead early in the contest with Le Martalin, Pylonthepressure and A Plein Temps chasing close behind. The early speed on the heavy ground could well play to the advantage of the Willie Mullins-trained TURCAGUA who can improve on his second of 10 on chasing debut last month. Balbir Du Mathan, Le Martalin and stablemate Pylonthepressure can battle for the minors.
  1. Turcagua
  2. Balbir Du Mathan
  3. Pylonthepressure
