Forecasts

Building Bridges (9/4), Danehill Quest (3/1), Jumellea (5/1), Give Battle (5/1), Mastermind (7/1), Marlborough Sounds (8/1), Indian Eye (20/1), Athenry Boy (20/1), Sunnyhill Lad (33/1), Big Bad Loans (33/1)

Verdict

Having missed a long spell Give Battle has thrived over hurdles recently and will have a major say in this if able to translate that improved form to the Flat. Preference however is for BUILDING BRIDGES, winner of a 1m5f Navan maiden winner in June and far from disgraced in handicaps over shorter trips since. This stamina test can eke out further improvement from the New Approach colt. Jumellea is another possible improver while Danehill Quest arrives in fine fettle.
