Verdict

KUIPER BELT has been on quite the roll since joining Gordon Elliott and would be chasing a seven-timer here bar a disqualification last month at Listowel. He has since bounced back over this trip at Clonmel and looks sure to prove hard to topple once again for the champion jockey here. Roi De Dubai has a chance at these weights on their Clonmel form while Slippery Serpent was an excellent second at Listowel last time and needs considering.
  1. Kuiper Belt
  2. Roi De Dubai
