Verdict

BRANDT has been much improved over fences since joining his current yard and is fancied to translate that form to hurdles here and strike. Downpatrick scorer Jimli's Cave heads the list of dangers, although a case can also be made for Tilloughna, Paddy's Milestone and Sammy Smart in this very open handicap.

  1. BRANDT (IRE)
  2. JIMLI'S CAVE (IRE)
  3. TILLOUGHNA (IRE)
