Verdict

MERITORIOUS has fallen a long way in the weights and wasn't beaten far when fourth here last time. Down in trip, he makes most appeal, with Matilda With Me also worthy of consideration and Celtic Revival hard to rule out despite his wide draw.

  1. MERITORIOUS
  2. MATILDA WITH ME (IRE)
  3. CELTIC REVIVAL (IRE)
