Verdict

BRENTFORD HOPE has got several very solid recent efforts on the clock to his name and, with this track likely to lend itself well to his strong-travelling style, he makes plenty of appeal off top weight. Playful Saint returned better than ever from a year-long absence when narrowly denied by the reopposing Milldam at Stratford recently and ought to go well again with conditions in his favour. Ballygeary and the aforementioned Milldam warrant respect, also.

  1. BRENTFORD HOPE
  2. PLAYFUL SAINT (FR)
  3. BALLYGEARY (IRE)
