Verdict

This could develop into a match between SOFT RISK and Believe Jack, with preference for the former, who stretched his unbeaten record under Rules to 3 with a facile success over C&D 18 days ago. With further improvement on the cards, he gets the nod. Olly Murphy's charge is sure to give him plenty to think about however, with Well Planted looking the pick of the remainder.

  1. SOFT RISK (FR)
  2. BELIEVE JACK (FR)
  3. WELL PLANTED (FR)
