Verdict

The one who appeals most is EMORCEE, who shaped well in the first-time blinkers when fourth at Limerick last month and, with just five runs under his belt, he may well have more to offer. I Know I Can is still winless following 24 attempts but his recent Down Royal effort was pretty solid and he will be in the mix if the addition of cheekpieces help eke out a little more. Designer Cailin is also shortlisted and Asisaid would be in with a shout if able to bounce back.

  1. EMORCEE (IRE)
  2. I KNOW I CAN
  3. DESIGNER CAILIN (IRE)
