Verdict

Red Devil Lads could have company for the lead in the early stages of the contest from Elizabeth Doyle's Without Limites with possibly Baile Des Iles, Teachers Pet and the gallant Road To Riches chasing behind. The early pace could eventually be advantageous to the likes Woods Well, Space Cadet and WOUNDED WARRIOR who ran his best race of the season when second of 15 in the Thyestes at Gowran Park last month. If not getting too far back in the early stages Spiders Web and Toubaloo could possibly hit the frame.
  1. Wounded Warrior
