Verdict

A chance is taken on the fitness of SINCE DAY ONE, who clearly goes well here (4-4 over hurdles and 5-6 overall at this course) and he resumes on a good mark (8 lb lower than that off which he landed a handicap chase here last January). Jason The Militant's recent form figures do not inspire confidence but he's lurking on a dangerous mark and is next on the list ahead of the in-form Horn Cape and Matchless.

  1. SINCE DAY ONE (IRE)
  2. JASON THE MILITANT (IRE)
  3. HORN CAPE (FR)
