Verdict

GOWEL ROAD has failed to deliver when previously pitched into graded races but he looks better than ever at the age of nine judged on this season's exploits, most recently beaten under a length by an up-and-coming stayer in the Relkeel Hurdle. A tough and reliable type, he shades preference ahead of Crambo, who got back on track when landing the Long Walk again at Ascot. Strong Leader completely misfired in the latter race but will be a danger to all if able to bounce back following a wind op.

  1. GOWEL ROAD (IRE)
  2. CRAMBO
  3. STRONG LEADER
