Verdict

PHONE HOME chased home the promising Leopardstown handicap-winner Brucio at Catterick 4 weeks ago and has obvious claims on that showing. Looking As You Are was third on that occasion and won't be far away again, while Queshi Bridge is interesting starting out for Alastair Ralph back from a long absence.

  1. PHONE HOME
  2. LOOKING AS YOU ARE
  3. QUESHI BRIDGE (IRE)
