Verdict

It's tough to get away from OXYGEN, who justified strong support back over fences for the first time since his 4-y-o days in France when scoring at Lingfield just under 5 weeks ago, and representing a yard in red-hot form, he looks one to keep firmly on the right side of. Pepe Le Moko looks the obvious danger having made the perfect start in this sphere at Warwick last month, with another last-time-out winner Hardy Fella rounding off the shortlist.

  1. OXYGEN (FR)
  2. PEPE LE MOKO (FR)
  3. HARDY FELLA (IRE)
