Verdict

A decent contest, in which ROOSTER COGBURN is fancied to defy a penalty on a rare outing beyond 2m, having scored impressively at that trip here on his latest start. On The Platform would have gone close if not for a late error last time and is respected from the same mark, whilst another recent course winner Family Pot is respected down in trip.

  1. ROOSTER COGBURN (IRE)
  2. ON THE PLATFORM (IRE)
  3. FAMILY POT (FR)
