Verdict

AMAULINO appeared to appreciate the step up in trip when finishing runner-up at Wexford last time and has raced exclusively on softer surfaces since joining this yard. The selection had some good form on a sounder surface in France and he is taken to get the better of Travertine who was successful at Listowel last time with Sir Jack Yeats and Icantsay others likely to play a hand in the finish in what looks a hot handicap hurdle.
  1. Amaulino
  2. Travertine
  3. Sir Jack Yeats
