Verdict

Those with hurdle experience don't set the bar too high so this may go to a jumping newcomer. ROYAL ROMEO looked useful in bumpers last year and shaped promisingly on the Flat last month so he's preferred to fellow bumper winners Champagne Problem and Silver Breeze.

  1. ROYAL ROMEO (IRE)
  2. CHAMPAGNE PROBLEM (IRE)
  3. SILVER BREEZE (IRE)
