Verdict

Paul Nicholls has won the last 3 renewals of this race, including with the now very-smart Greaneteen 12 months ago, and ROCKADENN looks a fascinating recruit having won all 3 of his starts over fences in France, including a listed event. Rikoboy won in good style on his first start over fences for this yard at Market Rasen and is another to consider, with the unexposed Ruinous best of the others.

  1. ROCKADENN (FR)
  2. RIKOBOY (FR)
  3. RUINOUS (IRE)
