Verdict

Back down in class off his last winning mark, CATCH CUNNINGHAM could be the answer if the first-time blinkers have the desired effect. So Smart hasn't done much wrong since returning to action last month and is next on the list ahead of Rum Cocktail, who returned to form starting out for her new yard at Ascot. Manila Scouse will also be a threat if able to build on his reappearance run under very different conditions here.

  1. CATCH CUNNINGHAM (IRE)
  2. SO SMART (IRE)
  3. RUM COCKTAIL
