Verdict

Last year's winner SPYCATCHER ended his 2025 campaign firmly on the up and makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a repeat victory. Successful in this contest back in 2024, Montassib proved somewhat disappointing last term but has likely been aimed at this and must be taken seriously, whilst market support for My Mate Alfie on debut for David O'Meara could prove significant.

9	Won this contest in 2024 and followed up with 2 further victories over this trip that year.

11	Five-time winner who looked as good as ever when runner-up in back-to-back races at the Curragh over this trip last summer. Not in the same form on final 2 starts but has joined new yard since and is worth a second look in the market. 3rd Pick 11 My Mate Alfie (Ire) Jockey: Mark Winn Trainer: David O'meara J: Mark Winn T: David O'meara	100	-	-	-	10%
