Verdict

ROUTINE EXCELLENCE landed a significant gamble in a first-time tongue strap on reappearance over hurdles at Naas a month ago and is well worth siding with in the hope he can do it over fences. Big Leg Up and Beating The Odds have more in their favour than most of these.

  1. ROUTINE EXCELLENCE (IRE)
  2. BIG LEG UP (IRE)
  3. BEATING THE ODDS (IRE)
