Verdict

SPYGLASS HILL progressed well over fences last season and was yet to play his cards when making a race-ending mistake on his handicap debut/return at Galway 8 weeks ago. He remains one to be positive about and gets the vote over Kupatana, who showed clear signs of a revival for this yard on her comeback at Killarney. The progressive Doctor Duffy goes for the hat-trick and completes the shortlist.

  1. SPYGLASS HILL (IRE)
  2. KUPATANA (IRE)
  3. DOCTOR DUFFY (IRE)
