Verdict

The Conor/Charlie O'Dwyer combination landed this corresponding contest 12 months ago and they can repeat history today with SIXHANDSINMYPOCKET, who finished a never-nearer third on handicap bow at Fairyhouse last month. After The Roar should be capable of better now handicapping so he's feared most, with Saga Aravis, Warm In Gorey and By Your Side another trio worth considering in what looks an ultra-competitive opener.

  1. SIXHANDSINMYPOCKET
  2. AFTER THE ROAR (IRE)
  3. SAGA ARAVIS (FR)
