Verdict

It would be no surprise to see a much better showing from Bleu Et Or now he is with Fergal O'Brien. Any market move for him would be interesting. Djarkevi should be capable of better at some point and is respected but this looks a good opportunity for CRAIGMOR to win on chasing debut for a yard that won this race last year.
  1. Craigmor
