Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for FIGHTING IRISH who has been set some stern tasks but acquitted himself admirably. At this level he will take all of the beating, particularly in receipt of the three-year-old allowance. Main danger may well be Major Jumbo who will find this smaller field a welcome change to cavalry charges like the Wokingham which he finished third in. Kimberella won the race a year ago so mustn't be discounted and he would be especially dangerous if able to gain an easy lead.
