Verdict

VIRAK looks the safest option at this level and no surprise to see him defy a penalty for his Wincanton success (in a Hunters Chase) in this company. Former Galway Plate winner Lord Scoundrel was back with a bang in a point-to-point last time and will be a thorn in the side of the selection if this race doesn't come around too quickly for him (he'd been off the tack for around 18 months prior to that win). Son of Suzie can confirm for with Nine Altars and, as Eco Warrior has a bit to prove over regulation fences, he looks the best of the rest.
