Verdict

The nine-year-old AVALANCHE is appearing to be coming back to form in a number of close calls since June and can finally get his head back in front for the first time since winning a Limerick handicap over 12-months ago off a 3lb lower mark. Last time out beaten favourite Global Pass, solid performer, Raphael and last time out victor, Vocal Music can battle for the minor honours.
  1. Avalanche
  2. Raphael
  3. Vocal Music
