Verdict

A tricky opener to solve but the vote goes to COPPER COVE, who seemed a bit fresher than ideal on his seasonal return at Carlisle in October but the suspicion remains that there's more to come from Jonjo O'Neill's 7-y-o at some stage. Foxey was a commanding winner over the larger obstacles last time, so he may emerge as the main danger back hurdling, with Classic Maestro and Heure de Gloire another couple fancied to go well.

  1. COPPER COVE (IRE)
  2. FOXEY
  3. CLASSIC MAESTRO (IRE)
