Verdict

RIP ROCKS PADDY OK has posted a couple of creditable in-frame efforts back on the Flat this summer and gets a tentative vote in a very open contest. Conor Hogan could pose a big threat if recapturing the level of his penultimate Leopardstown third in a big field, while Storm Steps could also have a part to play if the return to AW sparks a revival.

  1. RIP ROCKS PADDY OK (IRE)
  2. CONOR HOGAN (IRE)
  3. STORM STEPS (IRE)
