Verdict

A few in with chances but this can go to BILL AND BARN. Milton Harris' charge is going through a good spell at the moment and this step back up in trip could be just what he requires to notch a second success over fences. It's still early days with Percussion, so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about faced with this stiffer test, with Bleue Away next on the list.

  1. BILL AND BARN (IRE)
  2. PERCUSSION
  3. BLEUE AWAY (IRE)
