Verdict

Cases can be made for several in an ultra-competitive finale. However the vote goes to COINS CROSS, who has hit the frame on all 3 starts since being refitted in headgear and can open his account for the season from this slightly-reduced mark. Dagoda is feared most provided she's ready to roll on return after 6 months off, with Starting Monday and Chicago Bear also considered.

  1. COINS CROSS (IRE)
  2. DAGODA (IRE)
  3. STARTING MONDAY (IRE)
