Verdict

TOOSO appeals as a potential improver in handicaps for new trainer Johnny Murtagh so she gets the nod, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Derry Lad scored quite convincingly here when last seen in the autumn and will be a danger if returning from a break in similar form. Barretstown and Clueless Hill arrive on the back of some decent runs at Dundalk in recent weeks and also make the shortlist.

  1. TOOSO (IRE)
  2. DERRY LAD (IRE)
  3. BARRETSTOWN (IRE)
