Verdict

Grade 1 Triumph hurdle winner at the festival in March, FARCLAS should find this step down to Grade 3 level within his compass range with the Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old able to see off the competition from Stormy Island and the talented Espoir D'Allen in an exciting looking contest.
  1. Farclas
  2. Stormy Ireland
  3. Espoir D'Allen
