Verdict

GLENQUIN CASTLE is one of the most progressive performers around, completing the 6-timer with a bit up his sleeve here 3 weeks ago. The return to fences isn't an issue and he is very much the one to beat. Recite A Prayer and Ragnar Lodbrok head the opposition.

  1. GLENQUIN CASTLE (IRE)
  2. RECITE A PRAYER (IRE)
  3. RAGNAR LODBROK (IRE)
