Verdict

It's fair to say that OSCAR ELITE's chasing career hasn't got off to the best of starts, crashing out 3 from home when looking sure to have a say in proceedings back in November. With his latest effort excused and the yard back firing, he gets the verdict to make a winning start to life in handicaps. Imperial Alcazar and When You're Ready look the main dangers in a competitive renewal.

  1. OSCAR ELITE (IRE)
  2. IMPERIAL ALCAZAR (IRE)
  3. WHEN YOU'RE READY (IRE)
