Verdict

A wide-open affair with the vote in favour of MOUNT IDA. A Grade 3 winner over an extended 2m at Cork, she lost little caste in defeat behind Colreevy in a Grade 2 thereafter and this longer trip may unlock improvement now handicapping. Deise Aba also arrives in good form and is feared along with Hold The Note, Plan of Attack and Morning Vicar.

  1. MOUNT IDA (IRE)
  2. DEISE ABA (IRE)
  3. HOLD THE NOTE (IRE)
