Verdict

A case can be made for a few but the most persuasive one is for Dan Skelton's ROBIN GOLD who is on a roll and fancied to gain compensation for her narrow reverse at Lingfield when she looked in control at the last. Same Circus is sure to make her presence felt on the back of her good Aintree second, while last year's winner Coillte Eile could have a say too if rejuvenated by her new yard.

  1. ROBIN GOLD (IRE)
  2. SAME CIRCUS (IRE)
  3. COILLTE EILE (IRE)
