Verdict

CHAMP KIELY looked something out of the ordinary when maintaining his unbeaten record under Rules in a Grade 3 at Tipperary in October and can take this step up to Grade 1 company in his stride. Marine Nationale and Irish Point are both open to significant progress so rate the main threats.

  1. CHAMP KIELY (IRE)
  2. MARINE NATIONALE (IRE)
  3. IRISH POINT (FR)
