A wide-open staying handicap to kick off, with the narrow vote in favour of CLONDAW HOLLOW. He impressed when scoring over hurdles on his latest outing at Perth in September and it would come as no surprise to see him make an impact from this sort of mark back on the level. The selection's stablemate Yamato, who scored at Navan recently, The Abbey and Female Approach head up the dangers.
