Verdict

A fascinating renewal of this Grade 2 with several exciting prospects on show, none more so than SPRINGWELL BAY. Jonjo O'Neill's charge made short work of his rivals sent hurdling after an 11-month absence at Carlisle last month and it would be no surprise to see him step up considerably on that effort today. Iberico Lord was picked up by top connections after winning a French bumper so he has to be respected, with recent C&D winner Fennor Cross and She Is Electric also fancied to feature.

  1. SPRINGWELL BAY
  2. IBERICO LORD (FR)
  3. FENNOR CROSS (IRE)
