Verdict

YORKSEA ran a cracker to finish fourth in the Betfair Hurdle last month, especially considering he had such a hopeless position tactically, so he's very much one to be interested in over this longer trip. Too Friendly has been shaping well in defeat this season and looks sure to be adding to his 2 juvenile wins soon enough. Outlaw Peter is having just his second run in a handicap and completes the shortlist in a competitive event.

  1. YORKSEA (IRE)
  2. TOO FRIENDLY
  3. OUTLAW PETER (IRE)
