Verdict

HOSTAGE TO FORTUNE has upped his game over fences this season and, if he's able to get close to that sort of form back over hurdles, he should be able to defy a mark of 102. It looks a competitive race for the grade, however, with in-form pair Warreedy and Regina Dracones just two of several dangers to the selection.

  1. HOSTAGE TO FORTUNE (IRE)
  2. REGINA DRACONES (IRE)
  3. WARREEDY (IRE)
