Verdict

Preference is for WARHOL, who is entitled to come on for his latest run here when returning from a break of almost three months and the booking of top amateur Simon Walker adds to his appeal. The 2021 winner of this race, Captain Haddock, is lurking on an attractive mark and may emerge as the main danger, provided he doesn't get caught too far back, while recent wide-margin Pontefract winner Citizen General and Restorer are others to consider.

  1. WARHOL (IRE)
  2. CAPTAIN HADDOCK (IRE)
  3. CITIZEN GENERAL (IRE)
