Verdict

The step up to 2m should play to the strengths of EN OR who can provide Tony Martin with a third win in this race since 2013. Luke Comer's Seattle Sound beat the selection at Limerick last month and is second choice ahead of Willie Mullins pair Immelmann and Mr Escobar.

  1. EN OR (FR)
  2. SEATTLE SOUND (IRE)
  3. IMMELMANN (GER)
