Verdict

Things didn't go to plan for SAGE GREEN over the larger obstacles at Wincanton last month but now back over hurdles, Syd Hosie's charge can get back on track with this step up to 3m unlikely to pose any problems. Heading up the dangers is Gasmani, who got off the mark in this sphere despite a far from fluent round of jumping over C&D recently, with Noble Blue rounding off the shortlist.

  1. SAGE GREEN (IRE)
  2. GASMANI (IRE)
  3. NOBLE BLUE (FR)
