Verdict

BALLYVIC BORU scored comfortably at Wetherby last time out and he can defy his 7lb rise in the weights here as there could be so much more to come from the gelding. Smiths Cross was not far away on his chase debut so he should build upon that here and looks to be the biggest danger, while Monsieur Co is back down to a mark where he is worth respecting so include in your calculations.
  1. Ballyvic Boru
  2. Smiths Cross
  3. Monsieur Co
