In depth

Verdict

With his yard in outstanding form, Brelan D'As is likely to attract support though he's been well beaten in all three starts over fences. Like the remainder, JURBY is making his debut over fences but has won a bumper and scored twice over timber so gets the vote in a tricky event. Irish Prophecy won two bumpers and completed a hat-trick when scoring over timber at Sandown a year ago but didn't make the expected progress. Going Gold won a point and scored over hurdles for Richard Hobson and has changed stables while Amoola Gold has a Flat racing pedigree but showed potential over timber.
