Verdict

Last time out Galway winner RIVIERA SUN just about earns the vote here despite carrying top weight. He left the impression there was still more to come in that Ballybrit success and has his case helped by the 7lb claimed on his back now, while the testing ground is not a concern. Similarly, Icantsay is in great heart after a fine win Listowel and should be in the mix again. Handicap debutants Deputy's Pass and Twiss's Hill are worth paying attention to in the betting for confidence.
  1. Riviera Sun
  2. Icantsay
  3. Twiss's Hill
