Verdict

A few in with a squeak but EUCHAN FALLS improved on his chasing debut effort when finishing runner-up at Ayr 3 weeks ago, and with better still to come, he's fancied to come out on top at the expense of Baron Briggs, who paid the price for trying first to close down the front runner at Kelso a couple of months ago. Dr Shirocco and Indian Louis are another couple of interesting contenders, also.

  1. EUCHAN FALLS (IRE)
  2. BARON BRIGGS (IRE)
  3. DR SHIROCCO (IRE)
