Verdict

BLUEBERRY WINE looked back on song after a break when second in a similar event at Ludlow on his belated return to hurdles last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Someone You Loved has some decent form on the Flat in Germany so is a potential danger starting out for Fergal O'Brien, with Geordies Dream another to consider.

  1. BLUEBERRY WINE (IRE)
  2. SOMEONE YOU LOVED (GER)
  3. GEORDIES DREAM
