Verdict

With credible candidates in short supply, ready preference is for PRETORIUS, who wasn't knocked about on debut for this yard at Thurles and can be expected to come on for that run. This stiffer test looks a good move. Huntingtown was a couple of places ahead of the selection in that Thurles maiden and he could be the main threat, while Dylan Lombardy makes some each-way appeal.

  1. PRETORIUS (GER)
  2. HUNTINGTOWN (IRE)
  3. DYLAN LOMBARDY (IRE)
