Verdict

ADAMANTLY CHOSEN is highly progressive and goes through his races like one who will be suited by the nature of this event, so he gets the nod in front of Chemical Energy, who fits a similar mould. Needless to say, there's a whole host of other interesting contenders from Ireland, while Langer Dan (second in last year's renewal) looks the pick of the British contingent.

  1. ADAMANTLY CHOSEN (IRE)
  2. CHEMICAL ENERGY (IRE)
  3. LANGER DAN (IRE)
