Verdict

Plenty arrive with claims and it may pay to side with FIVE ZEROS. She comes here with her yard amongst the winners and she may have more to offer at this sort of trip having been set a lot to do when sixth in a big-field event at the Curragh 6 days ago. All Class, on the back of success at Limerick, and Storm Steps are others fancied to be in the mix.

  1. FIVE ZEROS (IRE)
