Verdict

FESTIVAL D'EX bumped into one at Naas last month and is taken to go one better this time for the Gordon Elliott/Davy Russell combination. Carrig Sam is unbeaten in 2 runs here, the latter a handicap, but may have to settle for second this time. The selection's stablemate Folcano should find this a touch easier than the Pertemps at the Cheltenham Festival and is also on the shortlist.

  1. FESTIVAL D'EX (FR)
  2. CARRIG SAM (IRE)
  3. FOLCANO (FR)
