Verdict

Two-time course winner LADY ARWEN returns to turf on a tempting mark and could be worth chancing in a wide-open handicap. Master Garvey has a wider than ideal draw but is well treated on best form, while The Blue Panther bids to win on reappearance for the third consecutive season.

  1. LADY ARWEN
  2. MASTER GARVEY (IRE)
  3. THE BLUE PANTHER (IRE)
