Verdict

Plenty with chances in a fascinating contest. A tentative nod goes to ARVICO BLEU who looked all over the winner approaching the final flight at Thurles when last seeing a racecourse in February, If fit for this contest he holds every chance. Another who has been off the track for a while is Blazer. The gelding finished third in this contest last season and if improving since then he could run a big race. Avenir D'Une Vie will have his supporters based on his recent win over course and distance though he needs to defy a big rise in the weights to get competitive.
  1. Arvico Bleu
