Verdict

A weak maiden in which a chance is taken on Gordon Elliott's CALDWELL DIAMOND who was bang there until late in the day on his Fairyhouse bumper debut in January. Da Capo Glory wasn't up to the Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival but had won at Galway prior to that and should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this. So Scottish completes the shortlist.

  1. CALDWELL DIAMOND (FR)
  2. DA CAPO GLORY (IRE)
  3. SO SCOTTISH (FR)
