Verdict

BEN LILLY showed plenty of ability remains after a year off the track when third at Worcester recently and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, David Pipe's 6-y-o gets the vote to open his account in this sphere. Presenting Yeats is not the most reliable of customers, but he can give the selection most to think about, with Honey I'm Good rounding off the shortlist back over the smaller obstacles.

  1. BEN LILLY (IRE)
  2. PRESENTING YEATS (IRE)
  3. HONEY I'M GOOD (IRE)
