Verdict

The finish may well be dominated by JP McManus-owned representatives, with handicap debutant PAX taken to strike. He shaped as though getting the hang of things when fourth in a big-field Punchestown maiden last month and this step back up in trip looks a good move. It's no great surprise that the owner's retained jockey, Mark Walsh, sides with the progressive Buachaillbocht and, despite going up 11 lb for his latest success, he is a big danger. Joyeux Vivo is third choice.

  1. PAX (IRE)
  2. BUACHAILLBOCHT
  3. JOYEUX VIVO (FR)
