Verdict

COLUMBUS shaped well on hurdling/stable debut when runner-up at Killarney in May and is taken to leave behind a lesser effort at Royal Ascot back in this sphere. He gets the vote ahead of Young Rebel, who has changed hands since his impressive bumper victory in November, with Tiktok Casey another to consider.

  1. COLUMBUS (GER)
  2. YOUNG REBEL (IRE)
  3. TIKTOK CASEY (IRE)
