Verdict

Several in with chances but JOHNGUS returns to handicap company operating from a much-reduced mark so provided he can keep jumping errors to a minimum, he gets the tentative nod to gain a breakthrough success under Rules. King Ferdinand wasn't seen to best effect at this venue back in December so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Cahirdown Boy and Merry Moves.

  1. JOHNGUS (IRE)
  2. KING FERDINAND (IRE)
  3. CAHIRDOWN BOY (IRE)
