Verdict

Though LUCKY LYREEN has failed to get competitive in a trio of maiden chases, he is of strong interest back up in trip on his handicap debut in this sphere, off a mark some 10 lb below his current hurdles mark. Al Kalila was a shade disappointing at Ayr last time but remains of interest judged on his chase debut second at Kelso, while Diamond Dollar is bidding for a third win on the bounce and is also accorded respect, along with Duffys Hodey.

  1. LUCKY LYREEN (IRE)
  2. AL KALILA (IRE)
  3. DIAMOND DOLLAR (IRE)
