Verdict

Preference is for UHAVEMEINSTITCHES who has quickly proven a much better chaser than hurdler, shaping as if still in good form over an inadequate trip last time. He can resume his progress to see off the challenge of Goraibhmaithagat, who has improved for the switch to handicaps in this sphere, with The Lovely Man and Bushmans Pass completing the shortlist.

  1. UHAVEMEINSTITCHES (IRE)
  2. GORAIBHMAITHAGAT (IRE)
  3. THE LOVELY MAN (IRE)
