Verdict

KARLSBERG gets the nod to build on a good reappearance second at Leopardstown. Rick Dalton has proved expensive to follow but he hasn't had too many attempts in handicap company and should play a prominent role under Colin Keane. Lord Vader hasn't long been under the care of Emmet Mullins and a market move for him would bring him firmly into the reckoning.

  1. KARLSBERG (IRE)
  2. RICK DALTON (IRE)
  3. LORD VADER
