Verdict

LUCKY LYREEN's form is on an upward curve so Gordon Elliott's hat-trick seeker looks the way to go. The Willie Mullins-trained duo O'Moore Park and Captain Cody both look to have better days ahead of them too and could emerge as the chief threats, although the likes of Kinturk Kalanisi, Will Do and Coming Up Easy also need factoring into this highly competitive handicap.

  1. LUCKY LYREEN (IRE)
  2. O'MOORE PARK (IRE)
  3. CAPTAIN CODY (IRE)
