Verdict

SPHAGNUM is the most appealing of these. The 5-y-o did the job well when opening his account at Sligo last month and he has lost little caste in defeat in his two subsequent starts. Next on the list is Getaway Goldie, who has been in good form of late and is potentially well-handicapped in this sphere. Ask Charlie makes some each-way appeal and Kilbarry Chianti is also worth a second look.

  1. SPHAGNUM (IRE)
  2. GETAWAY GOLDIE (IRE)
  3. ASK CHARLIE (IRE)
