Verdict

FOLLOW THE CROWD is progressing steadily and, having gained a deserved first win in cosy fashion over fences at Roscommon last time, he boasts excellent claims of following up off a 6 lb lower mark in this sphere. Arrycan is also returning to the smaller obstacles and appeals as a danger, while it would be dangerous to dismiss Maxxum on his first outing for Gordon Elliott.

  1. FOLLOW THE CROWD (IRE)
  2. ARRYCAN (IRE)
  3. MAXXUM (IRE)
