Verdict

GENERAL CLERMONT produced his best effort to date when second at Killarney last time and he would have given the winner more to think about had he enjoyed a clearer passage, so he gets the marginal vote in a wide-open event. Romella is thriving and strikes as an obvious danger in her bid for the four-timer.
