Verdict

LOTUS POND is on such a roll that he is hard to oppose in this. He has sound claims of gaining another success despite his rise in the weights. Ballybroker Breeze won well last time and is feared, which the blinkers could spark Knock House back into life too.
  1. Lotus Pond
  2. Ballyboker Breeze
  3. Knock House
