Verdict

RAYMOND TUSK was smart on the Flat and stepped up on his hurdles bow when beaten only by a good one at Newbury last month. He should have more to offer in this sphere and is preferred to Moriko de Vassy, who has a 7 lb penalty. Russian Ruler looked a decent prospect when winning a bumper at Warwick in May so must be respected on hurdles bow.

  1. RAYMOND TUSK (IRE)
  2. MORIKO DE VASSY (FR)
  3. RUSSIAN RULER (IRE)
