Verdict

APACHE OUTLAW shaped well on his 5f course handicap debut and should have more to offer back up at 6f so he might prove the answer to this competitive handicap. Second choice is Gordon Bennett who did so well in handicaps in the second half of last year and should be nicely primed for this after his Fairyhouse reappearance 3 weeks ago. The shortlist is completed by last year's winner Coumshingaun, who arrives on the back of 3 creditable placed efforts.

  1. APACHE OUTLAW (IRE)
  2. GORDON BENNETT (IRE)
  3. COUMSHINGAUN (IRE)
