Verdict

AVEC ESPOIR took his form up a notch when a wide-margin winner at Tipperary last month and is hard to side against here despite the official assessor having raised him 10 lb for that facile success. Stealthy Tom looks to have plenty more to offer now he steps into handicaps and is feared most, with in-form top-weight Mister Bells worthy of respect too.

  1. AVEC ESPOIR
  2. STEALTHY TOM (IRE)
