Verdict

ALMOST GOTAWAY showed a good attitude to score over C&D last time and remains on a handy-looking mark despite going up 8 lb so gets the vote. In-form duo Fame And Fun and Kalpaga are both weighted to have a say too and can chase home Nicky Martin's likeable 6-y-o in that order.

  1. ALMOST GOTAWAY (IRE)
  2. FAME AND FUN (IRE)
  3. KALPAGA (FR)
