Verdict

FATHER JED improved to land a handicap hurdle off a 1 lb higher mark 15 days ago and, back over fences, makes plenty of appeal in the follow-up bid. He's preferred to the in-form Fox Watch, who should be suited by this slightly shorter trip than last time. Ask Cory is another one to consider.

  1. FATHER JED (IRE)

  3. ASK CORY (IRE)
