Verdict

PORKY RUSH and Important Message have both been nudged up 1 lb on the back of excellent runner-up efforts and look the air to focus on, with marginal preference of the former. Fassbender's stamina for this far isn't certain but he's still one to consider.

  1. PORKY RUSH (IRE)
  2. IMPORTANT MESSAGE
  3. FASSBENDER (IRE)
