Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout so at the likely odds it is worth siding with ZOFFANIEN to capitalise on a handy-looking mark now he reverts to a longer trip. The progressive Slane Hill rates a big threat though with few miles still on the clock, while in-form duo Flying Scotsman and Ottoman Style need factoring in too.

  1. ZOFFANIEN (IRE)
  2. SLANE HILL (IRE)
  3. FLYING SCOTSMAN (IRE)
