Verdict

One-time Irish Derby entrant COMO PARK returns from a break but remains with plenty of potential and is expected to go in at the first time of asking in handicap company and follow up his Leopardstown maiden success. Course winner Fennor Cross is feared most back in this sphere after a promising third over hurdles while Adonis is another who merits serious consideration on the back of his very good Roscommon second. Galway winner Gonetomillgrove and in-form Son Of Hypnos complete the shortlist.

  1. COMO PARK (IRE)
  2. FENNOR CROSS (IRE)
  3. ADONIS (IRE)
