Verdict

Stall 22 is a potential concern but EPIC POET, well treated on his French form, looks sure to land a top handicap for David O'Meara following his excellent second in the Duke of Edinburgh and he gets the vote in a typically wide-open John Smith's Cup. The admirable Haunted Dream and Kihavah, at bigger odds. are live contenders, with Penzance and Liberty Lane also towards the top of the shortlist.

  1. EPIC POET (IRE)
  2. HAUNTED DREAM (IRE)
  3. KIHAVAH
