Verdict

Cases can be made for most but GORDONS AURA looks a 3-y-o firmly on the up for Sir Mark Prescott, and with this extra 3f holding no fears, he gets the nod to open his account. Maggie's Delight showed improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Yarmouth last month so she heads up the opposition, with Flint Hill another to consider.

  1. GORDONS AURA (IRE)
  2. MAGGIE'S DELIGHT (IRE)
