Verdict

HIGH KICKER pulled clear of the rest when third at Fairyhouse last time. She should be as effective back at this trip, and looks capable of gaining another win. Siempre Amigos can be forgiven a poor run over hurdles, and had been running well in this sphere prior to that, so looks the best alternative, although it's clearly too early to write off Miraculum, who is an unexposed three-year-old receiving weight all round.
  1. High Kicker
  2. Siempre Amigos
  3. Miraculum
