Verdict

GOLDEN SPEAR has been in top form on the level this summer and the handicapper has given him a real chance back over obstacles so he could be the answer to this ultra-competitive handicap. Getaway Gorgeous lacks experience for a race of this nature but is in top hands and he's a big danger, with Nibblers Charm completing the shortlist.

  1. GOLDEN SPEAR
  2. GETAWAY GORGEOUS (IRE)
  3. NIBBLERS CHARM (IRE)
