Verdict

Making his third start in chases, HE'LLSTOPATTHETOP was over a length in front when falling at the last at Fontwell in May, so after a creditable run over hurdles he is taken open his account with more still to offer back in this sphere. Radharc Na Slaine has shown more since sent chasing and could be the main danger, ahead of Prince Cleni.

  1. HE'LLSTOPATTHETOP
  2. RADHARC NA SLAINE (IRE)
  3. PRINCE CLENI (FR)
