Verdict

Preference is for GABBYS CROSS, who shaped well on his return from a 3-month absence at Leopardstown last time and remains on a workable mark. Punitive and Escaria Ten head the list of dangers in a typically competitive renewal of this contest.

  1. GABBYS CROSS (IRE)
  2. PUNITIVE (IRE)
  3. ESCARIA TEN (FR)
