Verdict

An ultra-competitive renewal and a chance is taken on TELLHERTHENAME who created a very good impression as a novice and could be revitalised by a switch to the outstanding Dan Skelton yard. It's hard to knock Secret Squirrel's form in top-end handicaps and he's feared following an encouraging return in the Kingwell, while this test could bring out the best in strong-travelling Sixandahalf, who was narrowly denied at the Festival 12 months ago.

  1. TELLHERTHENAME (IRE)
  2. SECRET SQUIRREL
  3. SIXANDAHALF (IRE)
