Days Without End (1/5), Challow (4/1), Warlike Intent (6/1), Military Hill (8/1), A Legal Beauty (14/1), College Field (16/1), Quay Melodie (25/1), Captain Commander (33/1), Gray Duke (50/1), De Grey Mink (50/1), Moondust Magic (50/1)

Verdict

A hat-trick of seconds looks unlikely for DAYS WITHOUT END, who showed good form at Galway recently behind a Willie Mullins-trained favourite. A couple of winners have come out of the beaten horses and this looks a guilt-edged chance with the champion jockey on board. Warlike Intent looks the principle threat, with Challow another that has shown promise before in this code.
