Verdict

A strong race of its type for the track. INDEEVAR BLEU and Florida Dream are 2 cracking hurdling prospects judged on their bumper exploits. The latter won a Grade 2 event at Aintree in April, but it was very hard not to be impressed with the way the former blew away the opposition at Wetherby in March and he shades the vote. I Love My Baie shouldn't be overlooked either.

  1. INDEEVAR BLEU (FR)
  2. FLORIDA DREAMS (IRE)
  3. I LOVE MY BAIE (FR)
