Verdict

REFLECTIONIST built on the promise of his stable debut when scoring in comfortable fashion at Punchestown 3 days ago and he looks up to defying a penalty with further improvement on the cards. Dragon's Pass and Lilian Bland are a pair of credible rivals, though.

  1. REFLECTIONIST (FR)
  2. DRAGON'S PASS (IRE)
  3. LILIAN BLAND (IRE)
