Verdict

A few with chances but L'UN DEUX TROIS returns to the level fit from hurdling and on a handy mark so can add to his Limerick success in the summer. Bolero bounced back to form when runner-up at Bellewstown last time and is feared most in first-time cheekpieces, with Roscommon-third Isaiah and C&D winner Wojood two others who need factoring into a very open handicap.

  1. L'UN DEUX TROIS (IRE)
  2. BOLERO (IRE)
  3. ISAIAH (IRE)
