Verdict

ASK NILE shaped as if still in form over a trip that stretched him when fifth in a better race at Listowel in September and, in a race where the bulk of his rivals have something to prove, this consistent 8yo makes plenty of appeal. Valdieu could lay down a challenge if fit for his reappearance and Scoir Mear remains on a handy mark for when things drop right.

  1. ASK NILE (IRE)
  2. VALDIEU (FR)
  3. SCOIR MEAR (IRE)
