Verdict

A competitive handicap. LAZER WOLF made an encouraging start to his handicap career when second over 2m here last month and can build on that and go one better now. If Ring O Roses can brush up a little on her jumping she's likely to be a major threat under Rachael Blackmore. American Money and Dancing Jeremy are others for the shortlist.

  1. LAZER WOLF (IRE)
  2. RING O ROSES
  3. AMERICAN MONEY (IRE)
