Verdict

MARDOOF has done much better over hurdles than might have been expected from his Flat form and he looks up to defying a penalty having opened his account in dominant fashion over C&D last month. Iliko d'Olivate and Aurigny Mill are the obvious threats.

  1. MARDOOF (IRE)
  2. ILIKO D'OLIVATE (FR)
  3. AURIGNY MILL (FR)
