Verdict

A predictably competitive affair, where Taj Badalandabad could build on a good run in the Pertemps Final but might not have his ideal ground, while Josses Hill could be suited by the return to hurdles. Preference, though is for CALIPSO COLLONGES. Olly Murphy's representative has been fiercely progressive for this yard so far, and though he has shot up the weights once again he won as he liked last time and could step up again to go close here. Steely Addition and Monbeg Theatre could also be on the premises.
  1. Calipso Collonges
  2. Taj Badalandabad
  3. Josses Hill
