Verdict

CAVE COURT proved a different proposition switched to handicaps when runner-up at Down Royal 7 weeks ago, doing best of those ridden close up, and he remains of strong interest with further progress likely. Arctic Ambition disappointed over fences last time but he's potentially well handicapped over hurdles and was gambled on when unseating 3 out at Tramore on his previous start in this sphere. Dragon's Pass forced a dead-heat on her comeback at Fairyhouse and is best of the others.

  1. CAVE COURT (IRE)
  2. ARCTIC AMBITION (IRE)
  3. DRAGON'S PASS (IRE)
