Verdict

A wide open handicap to close the meeting but the vote goes to Jessica Harrington's ST BRELADES BAY who has been a model of consistency this season. His second at Dundalk showed that he can take his new higher mark in his stride so he gets the vote. Silverkode is a danger stepping back to his favoured 7f and this dual C&D winner should go close. Stormy Belle returned to form latest and is a big danger with a nice racing weight.
  1. St Brelades Bay
  2. Silverkode
  3. Stormy Belle
