Verdict

EARLY ARRIVAL returned to form when second in a big-field handicap here recently and he is taken to go one better this time. Chosen Shant is 0-20 over hurdles but has performed with credit at this course the last twice and he is next on the list ahead of Rideau Canal, who also put in a good shift here on his latest start but that was over a year ago. A Mere Bagatelle and The Niffler are both worth considering, too.

  1. EARLY ARRIVAL (IRE)
  2. CHOSEN SHANT (IRE)
  3. RIDEAU CANAL (IRE)
