Verdict

A wide-open handicap in which the vote goes to the Colin Keane-ridden BIG BABY BULL, who made a winnning start for this stable at Naas last week and remains well treated on his peak form. Paul Flynn pair Plunkett and Whatharm (won caught the eye on his reappearance) head the many dangers along with the hat-trick seeking Ampeson.

  1. BIG BABY BULL (IRE)
