Verdict

BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY disappointed back over hurdles last time but is worth another chance returned to fences having made an impressing winning chase bow here the time before. Willywampus and Time Marches On head the dangers.

  1. BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY (IRE)
  2. WILLYWAMPUS (IRE)
  3. TIME MARCHES ON (IRE)
