Verdict

Willie Mullins' KLARC KENT arrives on the back of a good fourth in Ayr's Scottish National so looks the way to go off a 2 lb lower mark here. Stablemate Ontheropes came home a place behind him at Ayr and is feared most, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Credo, Western Zara, Peaches And Cream and Your Own Story in this very open handicap.

  1. KLARC KENT (FR)
  2. ONTHEROPES (IRE)
  3. CREDO (IRE)
