Verdict

An Arkle trial in name only, L'EAU DU SUD the sort of good-class handicap hurdler his stable almost routinely turn into even better chasers and he's strongly fancied to take the step up in class in his stride and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Lookaway showed his likeable attitude when making a winning return/chase debut at Uttoxeter recently, so he heads up the dangers with improvement on the cards, with Western Zephyr taken to edge out San Salvador for third.

  1. L'EAU DU SUD (FR)
  2. LOOKAWAY (IRE)
  3. WESTERN ZEPHYR (IRE)
