Verdict

SMURPHY ENKI spreadeageld his field when making a sparkling winning bumper debut at Wincanton so is taken to make a winning return in this much tougher contest for the excellent Chris Gordon team. Nicky Henderson landed this contest 12 months ago and his well-bred newcomer I Am Maximus is feared most, although debut bumper scorers Restandbethankful and Major Robinson are also greatly respected.

  1. SMURPHY ENKI (FR)
  2. I AM MAXIMUS (FR)
  3. RESTANDBETHANKFUL
