Verdict

MIRACLE IN MEDINAH's record over jumps may be a rather off-putting 0-17, but he has plenty of creditable efforts to his name and is taken to gain a deserved success. He was beaten just over 5 lengths into third behind Johnnys Girl at Limerick, but enjoys a handy pull at the weights here and this stiffer test will be in his favour. Dubai Devils and Marshalled may emerge as the main dangers.

  1. MIRACLE IN MEDINAH
  2. DUBAI DEVILS (IRE)
  3. MARSHALLED (IRE)
