Verdict

BLUE TRAIL was a touch disappointing last time but he looks fairly treated on the pick of his AW efforts and might be worth another chance with the Charlie Appleby team in such good form. Al Marmar has made a promising start and is feared most for the Andrew Balding team. Wanees should have more to come on the back of his two 7f novice wins last September and is also on the shortlist.

  1. BLUE TRAIL (IRE)
  2. AL MARMAR (IRE)
  3. WANEES
