Verdict

The form of HAZY GLEN's close second at Newcastle at the end of January has received a few boosts since and he's the one to beat dropping back in trip. Course bumper winner Ayiko is a possible threat if taking to his new discipline, while Ridin Solo and Hombre de Guerra have been placed in similar events this season and should be competitive again.

  1. HAZY GLEN (FR)
  2. AYIKO
  3. RIDIN SOLO (IRE)
