Verdict

A quality renewal of this Grade 3 contest, which may go the way of the 4-y-o CELESTIAL HORIZON. This is a much tougher assignment than what he faced when landing a handicap at KIllarney last month, but he did the job in good style and looks ready for a bigger stage. Last year's winner Sole Pretender has to enter calculations, but the main threats are likely to be posed by the Willie Mullins-trained duo, Saint Roi and Shewearsitwell.
