Verdict

FATHER JED improved to land a handicap hurdle off a 1 lb higher mark 15 days ago and, back over fences, makes plenty of appeal in the follow-up bid. He's preferred to the in-form Fox Watch, who should be suited by this slightly shorter trip than last time. Ask Cory is another one to consider.

  1. FATHER JED (IRE)
  2. FOX WATCH (IRE)
  3. ASK CORY (IRE)
