Verdict

Winner on debut at Leopardstown in July and not disgraced in Group 3 company when last seen in August, the Ger Lyons-trained BRUNELLE can get back to winning ways in a weak looking contest. The Michael O'Callaghan-trained Johan Zoffani kept on well over a similar trip on debut at Naas earlier this month and can improve to emerge as the biggest danger in this contest. Franklin Street, off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking when landing a Listowel 1m contest on handicap debut earlier this month and the Johnny Murtagh-trained Champers Elysees can pounce on any shortcomings from the main protagonists.
  1. Brunelle
  2. Johan Zoffani
  3. Franklin Street
