Verdict

While he's up against some race-fit, in-form rivals, MONTREGARD is completely unexposed and possesses the potential to go on to prove himself a good deal better than his opening mark would imply. Eden Mill did the job well at Kelso last time and is second choice, albeit only marginally as Millie of Mayo and North Parade are also appealing for forecast purposes.

  1. MONTREGARD (FR)
  2. EDEN MILL (IRE)
  3. MILLIE OF MAYO
