Verdict

PIC D'ORHY has essentially made a very positive start over fences, quickly dispelling his Scilly Isles disappointment at Sandown when running out a good winner of the Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton in February. He's been kept fresh since and this has presumably been the target for a while, so he earns the vote. Gin On Lime, back from a break, is next best, ahead of Arkle-fourth War Lord, whilst Erne River is a 7-y-o on the up and can't be dismissed either.

  1. PIC D'ORHY (FR)
  2. GIN ON LIME (FR)
  3. WAR LORD (GER)
