Verdict

Plenty to consider but it could be worth chancing MASTER DEBONAIR, who shaped much better on his second start for this yard at Ffos Las 6 weeks ago and is potentially on a handy mark if building on that. Hystery Bere caught the eye with his strong finish at Cheltenham last time so is high on the shortlist back up in trip, with West To The Bridge also of firm interest.

  1. MASTER DEBONAIR
  2. HYSTERY BERE (FR)
  3. WEST TO THE BRIDGE (IRE)
