Verdict

In a race devoid of a solid option, FERRYBRIDGE is the suggestion. He is now 11 lb lower in the weights compared to when finishing a respectable fourth on debut for James Owen at Sedgefield in October and the testing conditions were perhaps against him last time. Glory Bridge and Prince Nino may emerge as the main dangers.

  1. FERRYBRIDGE (IRE)
  2. GLORY BRIDGE (IRE)
  3. PRINCE NINO (FR)
