Verdict

ADAMANTLY CHOSEN shaped well in a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival when last seen and could be the way to go. Tudor City is a fixture in this race, with a good record to boot, and has to demand respect. Santa Rossa and Farout are a couple of others to note.

  1. ADAMANTLY CHOSEN (IRE)
  2. TUDOR CITY (IRE)
  3. SANTA ROSSA (IRE)
