Verdict

GETTING CLOSER has been second in one of these races in the past and he arrives in form from points, so he is preferred to Homme D'Un Soir, who won a novice chase at Roscommon on his last go under Rules. Barrack Hill is also considered.

  1. GETTING CLOSER (IRE)
  2. HOMME D'UN SOIR (FR)
  3. BARRACK HILL (IRE)
