Verdict

SKYJACK HIJACK has progressed at such a rate of knots that he may be able to take the step up to Graded level in his stride. Western Knight and Clondaw General might be the pair to give Jennie Candlish's fluent-jumping front-runner most to do.

  1. SKYJACK HIJACK (IRE)
  2. WESTERN KNIGHT (IRE)
  3. CLONDAW GENERAL (IRE)
