Verdict

HAPPAUGUE was unsuited by the drop in trip last time and shaped well on his previous outing, so he gets the nod in a race that lacks depth. Neverfindanother U is an obvious danger on the back of a good second over C&D and Wonder Spirit can't be ruled out.

  1. HAPPAUGUE (IRE)
  2. NEVERFINDANOTHER U (IRE)
  3. WONDER SPIRIT
