Verdict

DALAMOI asserted in impressive fashion when scoring at the first attempt over hurdles here last month and, with this longer trip promising to suit, he gets the vote ahead of Crossing The Bar who shaped well on his first go in this sphere. Lydford Lad also warrants consideration.

  1. DALAMOI (IRE)
