Verdict

BAK ROCKY and Gandhi Maker both remain open to improvement over fences and could be the pair to concentrate on. A line can be drawn through the latter's latest run and he is of strong interest based on his chase debut second over C&D last month. However, preference is for Bak Rocky, who was a good second to Heritier (winner again since) on his first start in this sphere at Kelso and moving back up in trip here will be very much in his favour. The Electrician is best of the rest.

  1. BAK ROCKY (IRE)
  2. GANDHI MAKER (FR)
  3. THE ELECTRICIAN (IRE)
