Verdict

A big-field staying handicap but the eye is drawn to WE'LLHAVEWAN, who has proved a revelation over hurdles since last tackling fences and he now looks very well weighted returned to the larger obstacles for his all-conquering yard. Stormy Judge ran a belter in the Thyestes and is sure to be plugging on, with My Immortal a likely improver in a handicap for the first time over fences.

  1. WE'LLHAVEWAN (IRE)
  2. STORMY JUDGE (IRE)
  3. MY IMMORTAL (IRE)
