Verdict

Won by Un De Sceaux 12-months ago while trainer Willie Mullins has won this race in ten of the last 11 years and his GREAT FIELD will take all the beating in this contest. Veterans Special Tiara and Doctor Phoenix look the best of the rest in a weak looking Grade 2 renewal.
  1. Great Field
  2. Doctor Phoenix
  3. Special Tiara
