Verdict

A tricky start to proceedings with the tentative vote going to LENNY'S SPIRIT, who wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford just over a fortnight ago and Ed Dunlop's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread with this larger-field scenario likely to be in his favour. Second choice is Sandy Paradise, who has hit the crossbar on his last couple of starts and may have to settle for silver once again, with Mabre and Flag of Truth rounding off the shortlist.

  1. LENNY'S SPIRIT (FR)
  2. SANDY PARADISE (IRE)
  3. MABRE (IRE)
