Verdict

GOT TO FLY caught the eye on his 2m Navan handicap debut last month and gets the nod now stepping back up in trip, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting speak in his favour. Atlantic Wonder shaped well when second at Navan last time and is unlikely to be far away if in similar form. Tideways Hero and Irish Envoy appeal as potential improvers now handicapping and also make the shortlist.

  2. ATLANTIC WONDER (IRE)
