Verdict

ZENON signalled he's ready to shine brightly again when an excellent fourth at Galway last month so Willie Mullins' well-treated 6-y-o gets the nod ahead of handicap debutant Chiricahua, who rates a big threat after his taking Down Royal win. Past-winner Brazos appeals as the pick of the rest.

  1. ZENON (IRE)
  2. CHIRICAHUA (IRE)
  3. BRAZOS (USA)
