Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but YOUR HONOR got back on track with the aid of a good position when third at Ballinrobe just over a fortnight ago and back against his own age and down further in the weights, he gets the tentative nod to open his account. Yokkell is going the right way now so she heads up the opposition, with Butterfly Garden and Wayne R Walker another couple to consider.

  1. YOUR HONOR (IRE)
  2. YOKKELL (IRE)
  3. BUTTERFLY GARDEN (IRE)
