Verdict

MR HARP revels in testing conditions so should be in his element here and can make light of a 5 lb rise for Ffos Las. Fellow last-time-out scorer Piaff Bubbles rates an obvious danger, while Lissen To The Lady is handicapped to get involved if shrugging off a below-par run last time. Nicky Richards' handicap-newcomer Serious Mickey would also come into it if the betting speaks in his favour.

  1. MR HARP (IRE)
  2. PIAFF BUBBLES (IRE)
  3. LISSEN TO THE LADY (IRE)
