Verdict

A big field but it's hard to get away from CHUTZPAL, who made his second start for his leading yard a winning one on the level last month and this mark looks well within range back hurdling. Sydney Cruiser, Getaway Henry and Bella Be Good are a trio of potential threats.

  1. CHUTZPAL (IRE)
  2. SYDNEY CRUISER (IRE)
  3. GETAWAY HENRY (IRE)
