Verdict

In a race bigger on quantity than quality, Flat winner STRIKING is taken to open his account in this sphere. He chased home a Willie Mullins-trained hotpot here last time and, unless one of the newcomers turn out to be pretty decent, a reproduction of that effort will surely suffice. Of the newcomers, Farrokh is the most interesting, while the Gordon Elliott-trained pair, Nottodaybobo and Sea Aster also need a second look.
