Verdict

ITS'AFREEBEE looks difficult to oppose and sets a clear form standard for the rest to aim at, with an official mark of 144. Cusheen Bridge has some good form at this course that reads well in the context of this race and looks the main danger to Dan Skelton's charge. Pearl Swan is proven over further than this and should make this a good test of stamina. 1. Its'afreebee 2. Cusheen Bridge 3. Pearl Swan
