Verdict

A novice won by the likes of Cue Card and Fingal Bay. BOOMBAWN, whose stable won this last year with subsequent Grand Annual winner Unexpected Party, has already shown a useful level of form over fences and that experience should count for plenty up against chase debutants. Cuthbert Dibble appeals as a smart chasing prospect so rates the main threat.

  1. BOOMBAWN (IRE)

  3. INSURRECTION (IRE)
