Verdict

A red-hot handicap on paper with AMERICAN MIKE given the vote. Last season's Champion Bumper runner-up will need to jump better but should be seen to better effect back up in trip in this big field and could prove too good. Naas-winner Cadatharla, Dovlator, L'yser and Spirit of Legend are just a handful of the dangers.

  1. AMERICAN MIKE (IRE)
  2. CADATHARLA (IRE)
  3. DOVLATOR (IRE)
