Verdict

The feature race of the evening in which most of the field all hold some sort of chance. Flight Risk tasted success for the first time in two years when an easy winner of a Listed contest at this course last week, and he is highly respected off joint top-weight. Inverleigh produced a rare poor effort recently, but that should be forgiven as he previously held a rather progressive profile. He would go extremely close if back to the level of form he showed when winning on his seasonal return but the safest option is to stick with Mr. Consistent, GORDON LORD BYRON who showed he retains all his old enthusiasm for the game when third in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time out.
  1. Gordon Lord Byron
  2. Flight Risk
  3. Inverleigh
