Verdict

A winner of a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle on his penultimate start, ARTHURIAN FAME ran his best race to date over timber without being seen to anything like best effect at Sligo 2 weeks ago. He's getting his act together over timber and is fancied to make his mark now handicapping. Golden Spear ran well on the Flat on Wednesday and is feared, along with Born By The Sea and Shanning.

  1. ARTHURIAN FAME (IRE)
  2. GOLDEN SPEAR
  3. BORN BY THE SEA (IRE)
