Verdict

An open-looking maiden with the tentative vote in favour of SHOWBUSINESS. He was well below his best despite finishing second at Thurles 4 weeks ago but that effort did come on the back of 5 months off and the pick of his hurdle exploits give him sound claims. Moulane West and Double Talkin JIve may emerge next best.

  1. SHOWBUSINESS (FR)
  2. MOULANE WEST (IRE)
  3. DOUBLE TALKIN JIVE (IRE)
