Verdict

THE BIG DOG has landed a pair of valuable 3m handicap chases in Ireland in recent months and he's weighted to go in again with the conditions of the race in his favour. A bad mistake did for him in this race 12 months ago but he's a good jumper in the main and has long left impression this sort of stamina test will suit so he's narrowly preferred to penalised-runner Quick Wave. Truckers Lodge, who was placed in this last year, and The Galloping Bear are next time on the list.

  1. THE BIG DOG (IRE)
  2. QUICK WAVE (FR)
  3. TRUCKERS LODGE (IRE)
