Verdict

This is almost certain to prove strong 3-y-o handicap form, with HMS SEAHORSE appealing as the pick at the weights having split next-time-out improvers when runner-up in maiden company at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Grid and Skilled Warrior are just a couple of potential threats.

  1. HMS SEAHORSE (IRE)
  2. GRID
  3. SKILLED WARRIOR (IRE)
