FACILE VEGA is the pick of the Willie Mullins-trained pair based on jockey bookings and he's bred to have enough speed for this sort of test, so he gets the nod ahead of his stablemate Tenzing and point winner Harry Des Ongrais. Cool Survivor shaped well on debut, so he also warrants consideration looks a strong bumper on paper.

  1. FACILE VEGA (IRE)
  2. TENZING (IRE)
  3. HARRY DES ONGRAIS (FR)
