Verdict

The presence of classy trio RUN WILD FRED, Stattler and Vanillier has diluted the field but separating that trio isn't easy. The first-named runner has plenty of experience over fences to call upon, which could be significant and if he can get into his usual rhythm since fitted with blinkers he will be a tough nut to crack.

  1. RUN WILD FRED (IRE)
  2. STATTLER (IRE)
  3. VANILLIER (FR)
