Verdict

An interesting bumper to conclude. OAK GROVE wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in a decent race at Ascot on his debut in November and can step up on that form with a tongue tie added on his return. Southwell winner Castle Ivers should go well despite the penalty, while Sawdust could step up on the form of his Exeter third if settling better this time. Point winners Worldwide Fury and Caughtinyourtrance would also enter the reckoning if the betting suggests they are fancied.

  1. OAK GROVE (IRE)
  2. CASTLE IVERS (IRE)
  3. SAWDUST (IRE)
