Verdict

ABSURDE was last seen taking the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and is confidently expected to return to the Flat in style here. Grosvenor Square appeals as the one to chase home Willie Mullins' Ebor hero ahead of Joseph O'Brien's new recruit A Piece Of Heaven.

  2. GROSVENOR SQUARE (IRE)
  3. A PIECE OF HEAVEN (FR)
