Verdict

MY MATE ALFIE failed only narrowly to make a winning debut over C&D and can go one better now with improvement very much on the cards. Aidan O'Brien's duo Mountain Bear and House of Aviz could emerge as the chief threats and can chase home Ger Lyons's son of Dark Angel in that order.

  1. MY MATE ALFIE (IRE)
  2. MOUNTAIN BEAR (IRE)
  3. HOUSE OF AVIZ (USA)
