Verdict

TONY THE GENT has winning form over C&D in his locker and comes back here in good health. He ran a perfectly good race last time, despite settling for second, and looks a strong contender for this prize. The likeable Koybig will attract support and won last time at Killarney, he could go close and his form brings in Prosecution, who get a pull at the weights for that defeat at the Kerry track. Knowing You is also worth a glance for the Weld team.
  1. Tony The Gent
  2. Koybig
