Verdict

The vote goes to REBEL LEADER, who had been shaping up well in novice events prior to belatedly getting off the mark in open company at Perth last month. He's still relatively unexposed for these connections and this contest may not take much winning. The main threat could be Mariners Moon, who took advantage of his reduced mark to score at Uttoxeter 13 days ago, ahead of Movethechains.

  1. REBEL LEADER (IRE)
  2. MARINERS MOON (IRE)
  3. MOVETHECHAINS (IRE)
