Verdict

A host in with chances but TURNAWAY shaped with a bit more promise than he had previously sporting first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster last month, and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Dan Skelton's charge could be the way to go stepped up to 3m for the first time. Pottlerath, The Height of Fame and Island Run are just a trio of potential dangers.

  1. TURNAWAY (IRE)
  2. POTTLERATH (IRE)
  3. THE HEIGHT OF FAME
