Verdict

IMAC WOOD arrives in great order and is fancied to bag a third win of the season having not enjoyed the rub of the green when a very good Doncaster third last time. Ballybeen has yet to score in this sphere but is holding his form really well and rates next best ahead of C&D scorer School Days Over.
