Verdict

OUR BOBBY has been in good order lately and would probably have placed had he not fallen at Wexford last time, so he's fancied to put up a bold showing provided he's none the worse for that incident. Boghlone Honey looks the main danger and market support for the hat-trick seeking Gendarme would be notable given he's been off the track 16 months.

  1. OUR BOBBY (IRE)
  2. BOGHLONE HONEY (IRE)
  3. GENDARME (IRE)
