Verdict

Mr Caulfield took a step forward when runner-up at Sligo last time. He has plenty in hand with third-placed Fox Walk and should confirm superiority over this shorter distance, but EURO AGENT makes more appeal. Gordon Elliott's charge failed to threaten the winner when finishing second over these hurdles in June, but still finished clear of a subsequent winner. That improved effort offers plenty of encouragement for the future and the five-year-old gets the nod.
