Verdict

A case can be made for plenty, but NICKY LARSON looks on a favourable mark and can go one better than on his handicap debut. Unexposed Chirac is feared most on the back of his Gowran success, while the unsettled forecast could bring Down The Glen into the mix, whose sole win came in testing conditions last year.

  1. NICKY LARSON (FR)
  2. CHIRAC (IRE)
  3. DOWN THE GLEN (IRE)
