Verdict

An interesting handicap with the vote in favour of low-mileage KING KAL. He took a sizeable step forward to open his account on return at Downpatrick 44 days ago and it's highly likely there is more to come now his sights are set on handicaps. The returning My Immortal boasts a positive profile and is feared along with Curious Times and Skippin Court.

  2. MY IMMORTAL (IRE)
  3. CURIOUS TIMES (IRE)
