Verdict

A case of quantity over quality here with ROCKY'S HOWYA selected to finally get his head in front following a couple of runner-up efforts last month. A reproduction of either of those should be enough to go one better here. O Connell Street turned in his best effort of the season when third at Down Royal in March so heads up the dangers, ahead of Captain Mc and Endless Cash.

  1. ROCKY'S HOWYA (IRE)
