Verdict

FRIARY ROCK bounced back to his best trying 2m for the first time over fences when winning under this rider here in November and remains on a nice mark having won off 1 lb higher at Perth in May. Upagainstit and Hold Onto The Line both shaped as if better for their comeback runs so rate the main threats.

  1. FRIARY ROCK (FR)
  2. UPAGAINSTIT (IRE)
  3. HOLD ONTO THE LINE (IRE)
