Verdict

The ground conditions look key to this with Balko Des Flos and Road To Respect having been withdrawn from recent races when conditions have been too quick. Both go well fresh but on this occasion they concede a fitness advantage to SUB LIEUTENANT who arrives having won his last two starts including a 9L defeat of last year's winner Outlander at Punchestown 18 days ago. The going suits him fine and the same applies to Woodland Opera who could be dangerous if allowed an easy lead.
  1. Sub Lieutenant
  2. Road To Respect
  3. Balko Des Flos
