Verdict

Not the easiest race to find a winner and a slight preference goes to DEAUVILLE SOCIETY who has been quietly improving for each run ( including two runs on the Flat) culminating in a decent fourth over 2m5f recently at Tramore. Any improvement will see him go close with this drop back in trip expected to suit. Behind him that day was Galuppi who put in a useful effort on the back of falling the time before. There may be more to come. Gunfire Reef is a much better chaser but showed on his latest hurdles run he has ability and will be full of confidence following a recent win over fences.
  1. Deauville Society
  2. Galuppi
  3. Gunfire Reef
