Verdict

FUNAMBULE SIVOLA has scored impressively on both his goes over this trip in chases and is fancied to defy a rise for his C&D success22 days ago. Birchdale, a talented hurdler with a pointing background, should have more to offer in this sphere, so he's regarded as the chief threat, with Dostal Phil the pick of the chasing newcomers.

  1. FUNAMBULE SIVOLA (FR)
  2. BIRCHDALE (IRE)
