Verdict

ZHIGULI wasn't at his very best late last year but lines up here back from a short break, operating 2 lb below his last winning mark, so it would come as no surprise to see a better showing with cheekpieces now enlisted. Top Ville Ben will find this easier than his Leopardstown assignment, whilst Regal Blue has a bigger effort in his locker over fences provided he brushes up his jumping.

  1. ZHIGULI (IRE)
  2. TOP VILLE BEN (IRE)
  3. REGAL BLUE (IRE)
