Verdict

A number with chances in a competitive handicap. There should be more to come from COMPLETE UNKNOWN after just 2 starts over fences so he's taken to prove too strong for former stablemate Fidelio Vallis, who made a good start for new trainer Harry Derham at Musselburgh last month. Galahad Quest completes the shortlist.

  1. COMPLETE UNKNOWN (IRE)
  2. FIDELIO VALLIS (FR)
  3. GALAHAD QUEST (FR)
