Verdict

Low-grade fare and MYLESTOWN UPPER could be the way to go on his first start over fences for Gordon Elliott turned out quickly. One Horse Army is another to consider, while Low Mileage is an obvious contender if backing up his much-improved Gowran display which came from out of the blue.

  1. MYLESTOWN UPPER (FR)
  2. ONE HORSE ARMY (IRE)
  3. LOW MILEAGE (IRE)
