Verdict

Several to consider with CAVE COURT topping the shortlist on the back of an improved effort in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown where he put in good late work to finish second. The Nagger Reidy will be a serious threat if able to get his act together jumping-wise, while last-time-out winners Must Go Now and Interchangeable also enter calculations.

  1. CAVE COURT (IRE)
  2. THE NAGGER REIDY
  3. MUST GO NOW (IRE)
