Verdict

Plenty to consider in what is a typically intriguing renewal. UNEXPECTED PARTY was a decisive winner of this last season so still looks on a good mark off 6 lb higher. This has likely been his long-term target once again, shaping as if he retains all his ability in 4 runs this campaign. Gavin Cromwell holds a strong hand with 3 live chances, My Mate Mozzie looking the pick, while Jpr One's Tingle Creek form puts him right in the mix off top weight.

  1. UNEXPECTED PARTY (FR)
  2. MY MATE MOZZIE (IRE)
  3. JPR ONE (IRE)
