Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to BRETNEY, who has been pretty reliable since being switched to fences and Henry Daly's charge can notch his third success in the sphere. Myburg has been shaping up well in recent month so he may emerge as the main threat upped to 3m+ for the first time, with Atomic Angel and Event of Sivola another couple who could go well.

  1. BRETNEY (IRE)
  2. MYBURG (IRE)
  3. ATOMIC ANGEL
