Verdict

Mutadaffeq and DE MAZZARO finished second and third at Limerick last time out in this sphere and should go well again. The latter didn't get a lot of racing room when it was needed and most and having been only narrowly foiled, is given the nod to reverse placings and open his account. Ballinrobe winner Fly De Megaudais is up 5lb and respected alongside the likes of Voices Of Spring and Dia Del Sol while Stander may improve with new headgear in play.
  1. De Mazzaro
  2. Mutadaffeq
  3. Fly De Megaudais
