Verdict

A case can be made for several but Stuart Edmunds has a good record with new recruits so ex-Irish FIGHTING FALCON could be the answer on his British debut. Victoria Milano is back hurdling off a very dangerous mark so he demands respect, with Good Boy Griff also of some interest.

  1. FIGHTING FALCON (IRE)
  2. VICTORIA MILANO (IRE)
  3. GOOD BOY GRIFF
