Verdict

Having dropped in the weights, BOLD OPTIMIST shaped well on his reappearance when a close third here last month and he can build on that effort to get back to winning ways. Ohailbhic also finished a promising third at this course last time and isn't taken lightly, with Go Out completing the shortlist.
