Verdict

JACK HOLIDAY has improved fences since last tackling the smaller obstacles in 2019 and he now looks very well weighted from his reduced mark. Like A Demon is also interesting from a handicapping perspective, with Edmond Dantes another to consider.

  1. JACK HOLIDAY (IRE)
  2. LIKE A DEMON
  3. EDMOND DANTES (IRE)
