Verdict

Low-mileage 7-y-o HYMAC showed plenty when placed both starts over hurdles last season and there's a strong chance that he will be seen in a better light now switched to fences. He is taken to make a winning debut in this sphere off what may turn out to be a handy opening mark. Georges Saint tackles fences for the first time on these shores (dual chase winner in France) and he is feared most, while The King of Ryhope is another who may improve now sent chasing and Nocte Volatus also has claims.

  1. HYMAC (IRE)
  2. GEORGES SAINT (FR)
  3. THE KING OF RYHOPE
