Count Simon (5/6), Macgiloney (2/1), Make My Heart Fly (4/1), Hague Convention (33/1), Artic Quest (100/1)

Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained COUNT SIMON can land a hat trick of wins over hurdles coming here on the back of a couple of solid wins at Perth and Down Royal. The Rip Van Winkle gelding can see off the attentions of stablemate, Make My Heart Fly who was going best of all before falling two out at Down Royal last month and Macgiloney, from the Denis Hogan yard.
  1. Count Simon
  2. Make My Heart Fly
  3. Macgiloney
