Verdict

Traditionally one of the most gruelling races of the season, which will suit IRON BRIDGE, who got tapped for toe at a crucial stage when third in the Grand National Trial at Haydock last month. He can provide his yard with a third win in this race at the main expense of the likeable My Silver Lining, who was 6 lengths ahead of the selection that day but is now 4 lb worse off. Autonomous Cloud completes the shortlist.

  1. IRON BRIDGE (IRE)
  2. MY SILVER LINING (IRE)
  3. AUTONOMOUS CLOUD (IRE)
