Verdict

The solid and consistent Shamardal gelding, SCORPION BLACK can get off the mark for connections at the 13th time of asking. The Dermot Weld-trained four-year-old can build on a couple of promising starts since April and securing the win ahead of Taceec, winner at Naas in April and the Intense Focus mare, All The Mollies. Top weight, Papal Count can go well but may need a couple to falter.
  1. Scorpion Black
  2. Taceec
  3. All The Mollies
