Ferny Hollow (2/5), Espanito Bello (5/1), Ash Tree Meadow (6/1), Rebel Gold (14/1), Epson Du Houx (28/1), Ivar The Boneless (250/1)

Verdict

FERNY HOLLOW has a lengthy absence to overcome but Willie Mullins' charge looked every inch a high-class prospect when last seen scoring in Grade 1 company over fences and, unlikely to be lacking for fitness, he can make a winning return. Ash Tree Meadow comfortably rates the chief threat.

  1. FERNY HOLLOW (IRE)
  2. ASH TREE MEADOW (FR)
  3. ESPANITO BELLO (FR)
