Verdict

Wazowski has already failed three times over this trip so this may chiefly concern the other two previous winners in the race. Trafalgar Rock is two from two over timber and Charlie Hammond's claim helps offset his penalties but MIRO has been on an upward curve for a while and wasn't stopping when successful over 2m2f at Downpatrick earlier this month. Gran Paradiso has hinted at ability while Kiwayu has been in fair form in staying races on the Flat this summer, though previous runs over hurdles have been uninspiring.
