Verdict

WESTERN FOLD hasn't looked back this season and is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride and go 4-4 at the chief expense of Blood Destiny who should benefit from this drop back in trip. The returning Affordale Fury could also have a say if ready to roll.

  1. WESTERN FOLD (IRE)
  2. BLOOD DESTINY (FR)
  3. AFFORDALE FURY (IRE)
