Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but SHOOT FIRST took his form up a notch when runner-up on handicap debut at Galway 8 weeks ago, and with further improvement anticipated stepping up to 3m, he looks the one to side with. Perceval Legallois also narrowly missed out on making a winning start in handicaps last time but Gavin Cromwell's charge may have to settle for silver once again, while Noble Birth and Wild Hunt are another couple worthy of a mention.

  1. SHOOT FIRST (IRE)
  2. PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS (FR)
  3. NOBLE BIRTH
