Verdict

KINGSTON JAMES showed plenty in a couple of bumpers earlier this year and he is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Ankud now switched to hurdles. The latter is the one to beat on the strength of his breakthrough success in a Sligo handicap in the summer and is a much-respected main danger ahead of fellow Irish recruit Shadow Chaser.

  1. KINGSTON JAMES (IRE)
