Verdict

Several in with a shout but the vote goes to BELGOPRINCE, who did well to get involved given how hard he pulled early when seventh at Cheltenham last month and Tony Martin's 6-y-o can open his account over hurdles back on these shores. Lazer Wolf, Park of Kings, Dollar Nolmit and Woodstream Lad are just a handful of others all capable of getting involved, too.

  1. BELGOPRINCE (FR)
  2. LAZER WOLF (IRE)
  3. PARK OF KINGS (IRE)
