Verdict

Typically comeptitive fare with the vote in favour of VERHOYEN. He ran respectably from his easing mark over this trip at Cork 2 weeks ago and, with refitted blinkers entitled to put an extra edge on him, he could well be ready to strike. Half Nutz and Godhead are others to consider, along with Ice Cold In Alex now returned to this venue.

  1. VERHOYEN
  2. HALF NUTZ (IRE)
  3. GODHEAD
