Verdict

A fascinating Grade 2 in which Henry de Bromhead's JULY FLOWER is taken to build on her easy chasing debut success at Limerick and capitalise on her mares' allowance to thwart Dan Skelton's Be Aware, who also impressed when going in at the first time of asking over fences at Stratford. Burdett Road and Stencil both bring considerable potential to fences and shouldn't be underestimated either.

  1. JULY FLOWER (FR)
  2. BE AWARE (FR)
  3. BURDETT ROAD
