Verdict

A late error denied PINKERTON from making a winning return after 8 months off at Down Royal last month but he remains unexposed so Noel Meade's charge is fancied to make amends today and double his tally over timber in the process. Merlin Giant, Icare Allen, Watch The Weather and Off Your Rocco are just a handful of alternatives in what looks an ultra-competitive contest.

  1. PINKERTON (IRE)
  2. MERLIN GIANT (FR)
  3. ICARE ALLEN (FR)
