Bargy Lady (5/2), Lizzies Champ (10/3), Dawn Raider (5/1), Vieux Morvan (5/1), Babbling Stream (7/1), Top Of The Town (12/1), King Leon (20/1), Ibsen (20/1), The Gatechecker (33/1)

Verdict

A competitive heat. Last year's winner Dawn Raider has raced sparingly since and warmed up with a good run at Roscommon. Barry Geraghty is an asset but the 10lb higher mark is a concern. Bargy Lady just lacked some turn of foot last time and should appreciate this extra yardage for team Mullins while Babbling Stream was much-improved when scoring at Bellewstown recently and isn't discounted. VIEUX MORVAN was a Listed winner over timber in France and has run two pleasing races for Joseph O'Brien since arriving here. He's capable fresh and looks to have sound claims now.
  1. Vieux Morvan
  2. Babbling Stream
  3. Dawn Raider
