Verdict

Plenty in with a shout in an ultra-competitive opener, including UNANSWERED. Tony Martin's 6-y-o arrives on the back of solid placed efforts in similar big-field events in recent months and, clearly still on a workable mark, he could well be the way to go. Bread And Butter, starting out for Olly Murphy, La Malmason and Butterflyvespiere are a trio of others to consider, with Cillians Charm another likely capable of better now stepping up in trip.

  1. UNANSWERED
  2. BREAD AND BUTTER (IRE)
  3. LA MALMASON (IRE)
