Cliffs Of Dooneen (5/4), She's A Star (3/1), Sandymount Duke (9/2), Pearl Of The West (6/1), Weather Watch (16/1), Shadagann (20/1), Yug (50/1)

Verdict

SANDYMOUNT DUKE looks well-handicapped on his return to the Flat and he's still entirely unexposed. Cliffs Of Dooneen was impressive on debut and certainly rates as the main danger here for the in form Aidan O'Brien. Pearl Of West was in good form over hurdles last time out and has been shown some leniency from the handicapper after her last Flat start.
  1. Sandymount Duke
  2. Cliffs Of Dooneen
  3. Pearl Of The West
