Verdict

COLD STEEL didn't enjoy the best of runs when sixth of 12 back from a break at Dundalk last month and, granted better luck here, he could prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark returned to turf. Mashhoor has contested two ultra-competitive handicaps subsequent to winning a fairly valuable one at the Curragh last spring and he looks dangerous, while Timourid was a good second on his reappearance at Leopardstown and also has claims, along with Giladah and handicap debutant Vellner.

  1. COLD STEEL (USA)
  2. MASHHOOR
  3. TIMOURID (IRE)
