Verdict

FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY has been knocking at the door in similar company this year and is taken to finally get his head in front. Feu du Bresil ran his best race coming over from France when second at Thurles last time and will be a threat if building on that. Conyers Hill and Top Speed look capable of better than they've shown and also make the shortlist.

  1. FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY
  2. FEU DU BRESIL (FR)
  3. CONYERS HILL (IRE)
