Verdict

TIGER VOICE was 13 lengths adrift of Midnight Maestro at Limerick in March, but he was returning from a 5-month absence that day and will be sharper now. The 6-y-o remains open to improvement in this sphere and is marginally preferred to Embittered, who shapes as though he'll benefit from this step up in trip. British raider Black Op and recent Topham winner Livelovelaugh are others to consider.

  1. TIGER VOICE (FR)
  2. EMBITTERED (IRE)
  3. BLACK OP (IRE)
