Verdict

BALLYKEEL is still relatively unexposed and shaped well for a long way when fifth at Punchestown 16 days ago, so he makes most appeal in a race where a case can be made for plenty. Last-time-out winners Good World and Winning Rascal both warrant consideration.

  1. BALLYKEEL (IRE)
  2. GOOD WORLD (IRE)
  3. WINNING RASCAL
