Verdict

SAFECRACKER looks to hold the key to this handicap as he is able to race off the same mark as when a very good second at Leopardstown and again sports the hood he wore there for the first time. In-form One Cool Poet seems sure to be on the premises so is rated next best ahead of handicap debutant Inuit.

  1. SAFECRACKER
  2. ONE COOL POET (IRE)
  3. INUIT (FR)
