Verdict

IRISH HILL ran well in a similarly warm Ascot handicap on his latest start and might be the way to go but there are a host of dangers, headed by Robbie Llewellyn's progressive 6-y-o Titan Discovery. Harbour Lake, who is well treated on last season's hurdle exploits, Good Luck Charm and Boomtown, the mount of Harry Skelton from the stable trio, are also on the shortlist.

  1. IRISH HILL (GER)
  2. TITAN DISCOVERY
  3. HARBOUR LAKE (IRE)
