Verdict

MONTEL GLORY caught the eye under a patient ride when fourth here last month and is fancied to open his account now off the same mark. No Way Pedro is another weighted to have a say in his bid for a breakthrough success with top-weight Ask The Leader also in the mix if back on song after a modest showing at Ballinrobe.

  1. MONTEL GLORY (IRE)
  2. NO WAY PEDRO (IRE)
  3. ASK THE LEADER (IRE)
