Verdict

This looks decidedly trappy but MUNTAHEZ shaped well for a long way before fading out of things at Kilbeggan in July and, given a break since, it would come as no surprise to see him go close from what rates a workable mark. Brehon Star dropped back in trip, Tincurra Lad, and Nomadic Star head up the dangers.

  1. MUNTAHEZ (IRE)

  3. TINCURRA LAD (IRE)
