Verdict

Ex-pointer HAPY LA VIE benefited from a switch to chasing when second here last time and, with the longer trip likely to suit, he's a confident choice to open his account. Croagh Patrick is in good order and looks a danger, while Dolly Dancer can't be ruled out.

  1. HAPY LA VIE (FR)
  2. CROAGH PATRICK (IRE)
  3. DOLLY DANCER (IRE)
