Verdict

POPONG has had possible excuses on both her starts since her excellent run at the Punchestown Festival and remains of interest off this sort of mark. Everlastingpromise was unlucky to bump into one at Killarney 2 weeks ago and is a threat if seeing out this longer trip, with Dunvegan and Cusp of Carabelli completing the shortlist.

  1. POPONG (IRE)
  2. EVERLASTINGPROMISE
  3. DUNVEGAN (FR)
