Verdict

ELITE TROOPER GREY was on the up prior to a blip when last seen at Navan 5 months ago but there's a chance he's ready to go on return and the assistance of Lisa O'Neill could prove crucial in a race of this nature. He takes preference over French import Francois, while the in-form Junior Rattler is worth considering.

  1. ELITE TROOPER GREY (IRE)
  2. FRANCOIS (FR)
  3. JUNIOR RATTLER (IRE)
