Verdict

GREY DAWNING was beaten ¾ length by Ginny's Destiny in a course novice in December but came out best at the weights attempting to concede 3 lb to Paul Nicholls' charge and can get the better of his old rival off levels this time. Facile Vega will be a threat to both if his stamina holds over this longer trip.

  1. GREY DAWNING (IRE)
  2. GINNY'S DESTINY (IRE)
  3. FACILE VEGA (IRE)
