Verdict

It's been over 3 years since MARVEL FAN's last run over fences, but she was successful on that occasion (for previous connections in France) and resumes in this sphere on a potentiall handy mark, having performed well in a valuable handicap hurdle at Leopardstown last month. The Dasher Conway is respected on his handicap debut in this sphere and has claims, along with Pats Choice, but Marvel Fan's stablemate Gain de Cause may prove most troublesome.

  1. MARVEL FAN (FR)
  2. GAIN DE CAUSE (FR)
  3. THE DASHER CONWAY (IRE)
