Verdict

A big field but not many arrive with obvious claims. DOC MCCOY won nicely on his hurdle debut and is taken to defy the penalty with improvement on the cards. Got Your Back shaped well in a bumper in the spring and is a possible threat having switched to Donald McCain ahead of his hurdle debut. Irish point recruit Bugise Seagull is another who would come into it should the betting vibes be strong.

  1. DOC MCCOY (IRE)
  2. GOT YOUR BACK (IRE)
  3. BUGISE SEAGULL (IRE)
