Verdict

AMOR VERDADERO looked set to go close before unseating 2 out at Leopardstown 14 days ago and could well prove up to gaining compensation from an unchanged mark. Justbecool makes some appeal switched to handicaps for a new stable and Lily's Gem warrants respect having returned to form last time.

  1. AMOR VERDADERO (IRE)
  2. JUSTBECOOL (IRE)
  3. LILY'S GEM (IRE)
