Verdict

FOX AVATAR hasn’t yet been able to add to last year’s pair of wins, but is now down to a good mark and, with the step back up in trip expected to suit, he looks worth siding with in an open affair. Nibras Gold arrives at the top of his game and looks likely to prove the chief threat if taking to the track, while 3-time C&D winner Gordon Grey and the lightly-raced Seeking Charles are also ones to consider.

  1. FOX AVATAR (IRE)
  2. NIBRAS GOLD (IRE)
  3. GORDON GREY (IRE)
