Verdict

An absolutely fascinating renewal of this stayers' contest and with the stable in cracking form still it could pay to side with INDIAN HAWK for a trainer who has won two of the last three renewals. Currently in the 'could be anything' category, the six-year-old should be suited by this step up in trip and could make significant improvement on his debut success. In truth it is very hard to rule anything out with confidence, though the opponents most feared are Station Master, Shannon Bridge now back up in trip, Samuel Jackson and Enniscoffey Oscar.
  1. Indian Hawk
  2. Shannon Bridge
  3. Station Master
