Verdict

GENERAL MORIVIERE has been knocking firmly on the door since switched to handicaps and a 2 lb rise for his near miss at Wexford last month is easy to digest. The 5-y-o is taken to deservedly get his head in front this time. Attitash boasts a similar profile and is likely to emerge as the main danger, while Turkestan and Shantou Warrior both make each-way appeal.

  1. GENERAL MORIVIERE (FR)
  2. ATTITASH (IRE)
  3. TURKESTAN
