Verdict

The recent form of BREX DRAGO is hard to resist and the in form six-year-old can continue his improvement here at the expense of the Willie Mullins-trained Irish Lass, who return from a two month break and the J P McManus-owned Paris Texas who got off the mark at the eighth time of asking at Downpatrick last month.
  1. Brex Drago
  2. Irish Lass
  3. Paris Texas
