Verdict

INCA PRINCE wasn't beaten far at Aintree 11 weeks ago and looks interesting back down in class. Clody Flyer is interesting up in trip after a good start in handicaps at Southwell. Bucko's Boy and Lighthouse Mill are also considered.

  1. INCA PRINCE (IRE)
  2. CLODY FLYER (IRE)
  3. BUCKO'S BOY
