Verdict

Epsilon Indi did things well enough at Limerick on Sunday and was clearly expected to go well by the market. He was though given a soft enough lead and, while respected, could be vulnerable under a 6lb penalty if things play out different now. VIKING HOARD is another that has produced improved form of late and Charles Byrnes' seems sure to notch a win somewhere soon after good runs at Down Royal and Limerick. My Direction and Antimatter are considered for place purposes.
  1. Viking Hoard
  2. Epsilon Indi
  3. My Direction
