Verdict

A winner over an extended 3m5f at Bangor, PLANNED PARADISE has fewer doubts than many over this marathon trip and, having won off the same mark in January 2025, Christian Williams' 10-year-old has plenty to recommend him here. Wal Buck's takes a drop in class and must be feared despite the burden of joint top weight. The low-milage Jo Coko as well as the consistent Court At Slip are others capable of being on the premises at the business end.
