Verdict

CLIFTON WARRIOR arrives at the top of his game and is weighted to go one better than when an excellent second at Down Royal. In-form veteran Goulane Chosen appeals as the one to chase home Henry de Bromhead's 6-y-o, with Arctic Warrior worth considering too on his handicap bow.

  1. CLIFTON WARRIOR
  2. GOULANE CHOSEN (IRE)
  3. ARCTIC WARRIOR (GER)
