Verdict

CURRAMORE failed to deliver when a strong favourite on his first 2 starts for the Sandy Thomson yard in the spring but might be worth one final chance after wind surgery. Smart Lass arrives in form from the Flat and has a good claimer taking 3 lb off so she heads the dangers along with Three Castles and recent dual winner Treasured Company.

  1. CURRAMORE (IRE)
  2. SMART LASS (IRE)
  3. THREE CASTLES
