Verdict

RIVER RUN FREE enhanced an already decent strike rate over fences with a smooth success at Leicester last month and David Pipe's 7-y-o is well worth another go over this trip. He gets the nod over Esperti, who is in the form of his life for current connections and Sean Bowen taking over in the plate only enhances his claims further. Previous C&D winner Haut Folin rounds off the shortlist.

  1. RIVER RUN FREE (IRE)
  2. ESPERTI (IRE)
  3. HAUT FOLIN (FR)
