Verdict

ALMOST GOLD ran with credit in a stronger contest last time when his stable was going through a lean spell and seems sure to play a big part. With the step up in trip in his favour Apple Mack can improve again while Ballybough Nora is another for whom improvement is likely and can do better.
  1. Almost Gold
  2. Apple Mack
  3. Ballybough Nora
