Verdict

Plenty of depth to this with OCEAN OF MERCY just about the most persuasvie option given he seems certain to improve on his opening hurdles effort given his bumper form. Ballybawn Belter is open to plenty of progress too, while Green Glory possesses his fair share of ability and now tackles obstacles.
