Verdict

Olly Murphy has his string in good order and RAMBO T could be the answer to a tricky-looking puzzle. He didn't help himself with a scrappy round of jumping here last time but he has generally looked a safe enough conveyance and appeared to be on the up prior to that. Irish Hill was behind Get A Tonic over C&D a month ago but he's now 10 lb better off with that rival and will have a serious chance if the addition of blinkers help spark a return to form. Steal A March also merits respect.

  1. RAMBO T (IRE)
  2. IRISH HILL (GER)
  3. STEAL A MARCH
