Verdict

A fair contest and a chance for IRISH PROPHECY to regain the winning thread on only his second start over fences. He was running well at Hereford in 2018 on chasing bow until he bled and has since won over hurdles. Templepark is among a number of dangers and is very consistent, and the likes of Darling Maltaix and Lucca Lady may also figure. Getting weight all round, front-running Alexander The Grey is another to consider.
