Verdict

SHANTOU LUCKY was value for more than the winning margin at Punchestown 24 days ago and, with the third going in next time, the form looks solid, so he remains of interest. Farrawaybay, Stumptown and Clifton Warrior are just a trio of potential threats.

  1. SHANTOU LUCKY (IRE)
  2. FARRAWAYBAY (IRE)
  3. STUMPTOWN (IRE)
