Verdict

FRERE D'ARMES disappointed on his final outing but he did very well over fences last season otherwise and remains on a decent mark for the start of this campaign. Boothill's 3 wins over fences last season includes a C&D handicap so is another to consider along with First Flow, who has a very good record around here.

  1. FRERE D'ARMES (FR)
  2. BOOTHILL (IRE)
  3. FIRST FLOW (IRE)
