Verdict

LUNAR CHIEF opened his account over hurdles here a month ago and his bumper form gives hope for better still, so he takes preference over fellow last-time-out winner Forged Well. Follow Charlie should also give a good account.

  1. LUNAR CHIEF
  2. FORGED WELL (IRE)
  3. FOLLOW CHARLIE (IRE)
