Verdict

PONT DU GARD holds a clear edge on form and should strip fitter for his recent Punchestown sixth after an absence so looks the way to go here. Broken Bond made a promising debut when third there and is next on the list, with Lucky Tenner and Jack In The Box appealing as best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.

  1. PONT DU GARD (FR)
  2. BROKEN BOND (IRE)
  3. LUCKY TENNER (IRE)
