Verdict

ERIC BLOODAXE was impressive when he scored on his debut at Fairyhouse and he can have more success here on his second start as there is likely to be more to come from the gelding on his latest appearance on the track. Wide Receiver has done nothing wrong in his two appearances to date, with his latest victory coming under Rules at Navan so he is the biggest challenger, while Run For Oscar is a newcomer who should be of interest as he could be good enough to finish in the frame at the first attempt.
  1. Eric Bloodaxe
