Verdict

MOTDEPAS was bang there for a long way over 19f in a deeper race than this here last time so might be worth siding with back over a shorter trip. San Agustin has the profile of one who could do better in handicaps, while Mi Laddo was a bit better than the result suggests back over hurdles last time and is also on the shortlist.

  1. MOTDEPAS (FR)
  2. SAN AGUSTIN (IRE)
  3. MI LADDO (IRE)
