Verdict

A fascinating contest and one that should prove informative. All six runners scored the last time they jumped fences and it would be folly to cross anything off the list. That said, TORNADO FLYER is progressing nicely and he earns the vote of Paul Townend over stablemate Cash Back in a race the champion trainer has pocketed three times in seven years. He can supplement his Navan Grade 3, with the drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience him. Dunvegan was impressive at Punchestown and is a threat, while Galway Festival winner Zero Ten is likely to make further progress and is proven to go well fresh.
