Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-yard won this contest 12 months ago with Mill Quest with today's jockey Jack Kennedy in the plate and their US bred gelding FROM EDEN can procure the prize for the Co Meath operation here. There will be many dangers in the contest for the six-year-old most notably the J P McManus-owned pair, Demi Plie and Treasure Chest while the evergreen, October Revolution will be waiting to take advantage of any shortcomings from the main protagonists.
  1. From Eden
  2. Treasure Chest
  3. Demi Plie
