Verdict

BUCK ROGERS made a great start for his new yard when second at Limerick 13 days ago, just denied by one that had the run of things, so he's worth a chance to go one better at the likely expense of Wearapinkribbon, who remains with potential after just 3 goes over hurdles. Guiri is also considered.

  1. BUCK ROGERS (IRE)
  2. GUIRI (GER)
  3. WEARAPINKRIBBON (IRE)
