Verdict

Plenty of in-form sorts in opposition but SANDRET did well under the circumstances and dropped the hint his turn is imminent when finishing a good second in a C&D handicap in October and he shades the vote. Rocket Rod returned to this venue, Cusack and the hat-trick seeking Struck Gold head the dangers.

  1. SANDRET (IRE)

  3. CUSACK
