Verdict

An open-looking contest in which the vote goes to THEONEWEDREAMOF, who justified support to score at Bellewstown in April and has run with credit over hurdles since. The hat-trick seeking No Hassle is an obvious danger and Belgoprince should give another good account.

  1. THEONEWEDREAMOF (IRE)
  2. NO HASSLE (IRE)
  3. BELGOPRINCE (FR)
