Verdict

Given all 7 with experience haven't set the world alight a chance is taken on Dan Skelton debutant TURNAWAY, with confidence increased should the market vibes be strong. Ballintubber Boy did show a bit in his sole bumper and is bred for the job so he's feared most ahead of Don Alvaro in an opener where the betting could prove informative.

  1. TURNAWAY (IRE)
  2. BALLINTUBBER BOY (IRE)
  3. DON ALVARO
