Verdict

DOUBLE POWERFUL can land a remarkable 7-timer, having posted a career-best effort at Cheltenham 35 days ago, and he can get the job done again. There are a host of notable challengers, led by Champagne Twist whose victory in the EBF Final handicap at Sandown should not be forgotten. The unexposed East India Express could be dangerous if ready to roll on seasonal return.

  1. DOUBLE POWERFUL (IRE)
  2. CHAMPAGNE TWIST (IRE)
  3. EAST INDIA EXPRESS (IRE)
