Verdict

It's difficult to see past a big run for the Denis Hogan-trained SCEPTICAL. The four-year-old landed a hat-trick of wins at Dundalk on the AW between November and March this year. The gelding can continue his fine run of form as he steps up to Listed company for the first time. Both Sceptical and the Aidan Fogarty-trained Forever In Dreams are currently racing 6lb and 4lb higher than next best, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Listed and Group 3 winning colt, Sergei Prokofiev. Buffer Zone for trainer Ger Lyons could take a hand in the finish should any of the main protagonists falter.
  1. Sceptical
  2. Sergei Prokofiev
  3. Forever In Dreams
