Embittered (3/1), Final Orders (7/2), The Folkes Tiara (5/1), Halsafari (6/1), Sil Ver Klass (8/1), Alice Avril (17/2), Railway Hurricane (10/1), Grange Walk (14/1), Espion Du Chenet (20/1)

Verdict

EMBITTERED signalled that his turn is again near when going close at Cork last month, form which was given a timely boost when the winner Big Debates recently followed up at Fairyhouse recently. A 2 lb rise for that effort is fair and Joseph O'Brien's charge earns the vote. Halsafari put in a decent shift when third back in this sphere last time and should be involved. However, he's just 1-20 over fences and the bang in-form Final Orders and likely improver The Folkes Tiara are bigger threats.
