Verdict

This step up in trip promises to suit AN BUACHAILL RUA, who opened his account at Ludlow last time and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Kastellion is another who may benefit from moving up in distance and he looks sure to be involved in the finish. Junior des Mottes is best of the rest.
