Verdict

RICH BELIEF needs forgiving a lesser effort over hurdles on his latest outing 2 weeks ago, yet he had previously been holding his form well under both codes and could be worth siding with to bounce back having scored impressively at Leopardstown previously. Scenic Look is going through a good spell and is feared, along with Sheishybrid. Dark Voyager completes the shortlist.

  1. RICH BELIEF
  2. SCENIC LOOK (IRE)
