Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but THE SHORT GO rates the pick of these weights so is taken to build on his very good fifth in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival and get off the mark for the season. Another Choice heads the list of dangers on the back of a solid eighth in the Irish Grand National with Answer To Kayf, Hasthing, Outside The Door and Your Own Story all in the mix too.

  1. THE SHORT GO (IRE)
  2. ANOTHER CHOICE (IRE)
  3. ANSWER TO KAYF
