Verdict

It's surely only a matter of time before FILEY BAY lands a valuable handicap hurdle and perhaps this will be the day. Ross O'Sullivan's Volantis is another who likely has his name on a nice prize before long after shaping well in a couple of handicaps this summer and he's second choice ahead of Icare Allen, who looks the pick of the Willie Mullins quartet, and Shecouldbeanything.

  1. FILEY BAY (IRE)
  2. VOLANTIS (IRE)
  3. ICARE ALLEN (FR)
