Verdict

THE TRUANT, a winner on the Flat during the summer, caught the eye when fifth in a 12-runner Cork handicap back in this sphere last time. Mistakes at the third-last and the final flight that day certainly didn't help and he looks more than capable of exploiting a workable mark in this sphere if able to cut out the jumping errors. Halsafari is next on the list ahead of Harvey's Quay and Pats Choice, while Coolnacritta will also be a threat if ready to roll following 13 months off.

  1. THE TRUANT (IRE)
  2. HALSAFARI (IRE)
  3. HARVEY'S QUAY (IRE)
