Stuzzikini (10/3), Dartan (4/1), Pink In The Park (9/2), Franciscan Rock (11/2), Sempo (9/1), Ambitious Fellow (10/1), Lisnamult Lad (12/1), What Path (16/1), Faux Fur (18/1), Cloughroe (50/1), Just Three (80/1)

Verdict

FRANCISCAN ROCK is one of the best of these over hurdles and is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his chase bow. Stuzzikini has made a decent start in this sphere and is another to consider, while Dartan is respected on chase bow.

  1. FRANCISCAN ROCK (IRE)
  2. STUZZIKINI (IRE)
