Verdict

PEKING OPERA was useful on the Flat and hails from a yard that does particularly well at this course. He is taken to make a successful switch to hurdling. The Good Doctor and Dartmoor Pirate rate the principal dangers.

  1. PEKING OPERA (IRE)
  2. THE GOOD DOCTOR (FR)
  3. DARTMOOR PIRATE
