Verdict
Sundrenched, a winning bumper, took a long time to get the hang of jumping but ended last season scoring at Ayr in April. Prince Zaltar isn't the most consistent but bounced back to form over fences at Tramore and though Gali Flight is 0-19 he's been in the first four ten times. Premier Queen won by a massive 30 lengths at Clonmel though that was on very heavy ground and she's been raised 12lb. A MERE BAGATELLE has been consistent and though he keeps going up without winning he's still reasonably treated and looks the safest option in a tricky finale.
