oddschecker Verdict
BOLD OPTIMIST last visited the winner's enclosure after taking a C&D contest just over two years ago. He has slipped a long way in the ratings and, on his first start of the turf season, shaped with plenty of encouragement when second at Naas last month. Harry's Hill almost made the most of a declining mark when chasing home Mary Shoelaces here a month ago and, on these terms, can turn around form with the winner. Just in behind that pair was Happy Henry and he also makes the shortlist having shown a consistent level of form in similar contests this season.
Prediction: 1st Bold Optimist, 2nd Harrys Hill, 3rd Happy Henry
