Verdict

A dual C&D winner last season, HAAFAPIECE produced his best effort of the current campaign when runner-up at Fakenham last time and he can go one better from 8 lb below his last winning mark. Heading the list of dangers is Ladronne, who has been thriving over fences of late, while Pyramid Place can also give another good account.

  1. HAAFAPIECE
  2. LADRONNE (FR)
  3. PYRAMID PLACE (IRE)
