Verdict

A deserved victory beckons for AFFORDALE FURY, who was runner-up on his sole start last term following a lengthy absence and has advanced his form already this season, finishing second in a Grade 2 at Gowran before chasing home Envoi Allen in the Champion Chase at Down Royal. The Willie Mullins-trained pair, Appreciate It and Classic Getaway, can fill the places.
