Verdict

A low grade affair in which a few can be quite easily ruled out given how much they have to prove. This looks quite a good opportunity for WILDERNESS to secure the hat-trick and notch a fourth career victory. A 6lb rise demands more but he shaped as though the step up to 1m4f would suit when staying on strongly over 1m2f last time. The consistent Pak Army looks vulnerable for win purposes but should go close after making the frame at Limerick last week. The remainder of the field have questions to answer but that does not apply to Ultra Pride but took a step back in the right direction when third at Fairyhouse on his seasonal reappearance.
  1. Wilderness
  2. Pak Army
