Verdict

There should be more to come from VALADON, who might be up to defying a penalty here. Newcastle bumper winner Kabuki could pose a threat if taking well to hurdling, while Gary Moore's Kalif d'Airy more than hinted at ability pitched into a Cheltenham listed bumper on debut and Gary Moore won this race last year.

  1. VALADON (IRE)
  2. KABUKI (FR)
  3. KALIF D'AIRY (FR)
