Verdict

A host in with chances but HELPMEOUT shaped encouragingly after 9 months off when fourth at the Curragh just under a fortnight ago and, having been successful on this card last year, she can repeat that feat and notch career victory number 3. The booking of Colin Keane catches the eye for Dagoda so she may emerge as the main danger, with last-time-out winner Chavajod and Plunkett another couple to consider.

  1. HELPMEOUT (IRE)
  2. DAGODA (IRE)
  3. CHAVAJOD
