Verdict

MCLAUREY bagged a valuable pot as a hurdler last season and has been shaping as though a repeat could be on the cards over fences. He gets the vote for the shrewd Emmet Mullins stable, though unexposed 5-y-o Raffles Dolce Vita makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut, while last year's winner Petit Tonnerre is reunited with Richie McLernon (2-2) and may again have the race run to suit. Jalila Moriviere completes the shortlist in an ultra-competitive renewal.
