HENRI THE SECOND could hardly have been more dominant when scoring under similar conditions over C&D last time and with the form of that win having been franked since, he has good claims to follow up. Shoot First has already raided these shores to claim a valuable pot this season, and he's a big danger now back in a handicap. 7 y-os and Deep Cave and What A Johnny both remain relatively unexposed over staying trips and should run well.

  1. HENRI THE SECOND (FR)
  2. SHOOT FIRST (IRE)
  3. DEEP CAVE (IRE)
