Verdict

Lots with chances. CANAL END looks to have a fair bit more to offer over staying trips so Peter Fahey's unexposed sort edges the vote. Fine Margin is expected to build on a promising Haydock debut second for Willie Mullins and is next on the list, although a good case can also be made for the likes of Gaoth Chuil, Nine Graces, Will Do, Panda Boy and Park of Kings in this ultra-competitive handicap.

  1. CANAL END (IRE)
  2. FINE MARGIN (IRE)
  3. GAOTH CHUIL (IRE)
