Verdict

AMPESON still has few miles on the clock so is fancied to defy a 7 lb penalty and follow up his Fairyhouse victory at the chief expesne of Cleveleys who wasn't seen to best effect when eleventh there four days ago. Craft Irish appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

  1. AMPESON
  2. CLEVELEYS
  3. CRAFT IRISH (IRE)
