Verdict

Taken on his runs for former trainer Mark Johnston SCARPETA could be ideal to lead here for the Willie Mullins yard having a few of these in trouble some way out in this contest. Dortmund Park, Dis Donc for Gigginstown and Speak Easy for J P McManus are the best of the rest.
  1. Scarpeta
  2. Dortmund Park
  3. Speak Easy
