Verdict

Declan McDonogh rides this track very well and the aggressive tactics he employed aboard ST GEORGE'S HEAD over C&D last week paid dividends, with the 3-y-o opening his account at the sixteenth attempt. Stall 13 isn't ideal, but he remains feasibly treated off this 9 lb higher mark and another bold bid could be on the way. The consistent Chagall, Fascinating Spirit and Tynamite are live dangers.

  1. ST GEORGE'S HEAD (IRE)
  2. CHAGALL (IRE)
  3. FASCINATING SPIRIT (IRE)
