Verdict

TOSS AGAIN made an encouraging start under Rules when third at Downpatrick earlier this month and, with improvement on the cards, he could be the answer. Emily Roebling sets the standard and should be firmly in the mix once more, but she has had plenty of chances and lacks the scope of the selection. Western Walk is third choice ahead of Noble Birth and bumper winner Meetingofthewaters.

  1. TOSS AGAIN (IRE)
  2. EMILY ROEBLING (IRE)
  3. WESTERN WALK (IRE)
