Verdict

Shrewdoperator likes to get on with things from the front and looks the most likely to take the the field along here from the raise of the flag with Stoughan Cross and BLUE EMPYREAN chasing behind. The selection has shown plenty of promise in his initial beginners and novice chase starts and can out-point Angus Milan and Shrewdoperator in this tricky contest.
  1. Blue Empyrean
  2. Angus Milan
  3. Shrewdoperator
