Verdict

A 5-time winner last year, ASGARD'S CAPTAIN wasted no time getting back to form when third at Southwell on his latest outing and he is taken to add to his tally returned to this C&D. He can see off the challenge of Humble Spark, who also boasts a good record here and shaped well at Southwell last time, while Charlie's Choice could be in the mix once more.

  1. ASGARD'S CAPTAIN (IRE)
  2. HUMBLE SPARK (IRE)
  3. CHARLIE'S CHOICE
