Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak and it could be worth taking a chance on GLOBAL RESOLVE, who was runner-up over C&D back in November and returns after an inauspicious start over hurdles with the excellent Sean Dylan Bowen in the plate. Heading up the dangers is Tactical Control, who found just one too good at Wolverhampton last week and remains well treated on his best form, with Hijo de la Luna and Night Arc taken to fight out minor honours.

  1. GLOBAL RESOLVE (IRE)
  2. TACTICAL CONTROL
  3. HIJO DE LA LUNA (GER)
