Verdict

A typically competitive renewal of this valuable prize, with the tentative vote going to PEEJAYBEE, who is already a C&D winner and should be suited by this type of test given his strong-travelling style. Knappers Hill was far from disgraced in the Betfair Hurdle and remains with potential, especially now moving up in trip, while Our Jet and Thunder Rock complete shortlist.

  1. PEEJAYBEE (FR)
  2. KNAPPERS HILL (IRE)
  3. OUR JET (IRE)
