Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest, and RISK FACTOR, a useful bumper winner, looks the one to beat given the fairly useful level of form he's shown thus far over hurdles too. Gloire d'Athon is feared most on the back of his good Punchestown third, with Shamiyan appealing as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
