Verdict

Point-winner BEGOODTOYOURSELF is progressing steadily over fences so gets the nod on the back of his good C&D third, in a race where several have questions marks against them. Eagle Ridge goes extremely well round here and took this contest 12 months ago so rates the chief threat, although Plan of Escape can't be ruled out after his breakthrough victory following a wind op at Newcatle.

  1. BEGOODTOYOURSELF (IRE)
  2. EAGLE RIDGE (IRE)
  3. PLAN OF ESCAPE (IRE)
