Verdict

While BASFORD's string of runner-up efforts raise doubts about him being one to be taking very short odds about it's very hard to find an alternative to him in this line-up. If there is one that might shake him up it's probably Joe Tizzard's Bala Brook, who showed a bit of promise on the first of 2 bumper starts at the end of 2022.

  1. BASFORD (IRE)
  2. BALA BROOK
  3. BELLA NOCHE (IRE)
