In depth
Verdict
Paco Venture is from a top yard and has shown a modicum of ability in Ireland including being placed a couple of times that was all on soft ground and if this faster ground brings any improvement in him he will be hard to beat. Shenandoah looks the main danger he was a good third behind Rakaposhi Lass last time out and there is nothing of that caliber in this race. Wings Of Hope was third in a moderate maiden hurdle on similar ground and on that effort he at least has place claims. Canterbury Jack represents the Pipe McCoy team and is open to plenty of improvement and any market move would be significant. Treasured Coin ran well under similar conditions when second behind Egypt and will not have to improve much to take a hand in the finish and his stable is in good form. The remainder look fairly moderate.
