Verdict

This race lacks depth and BIDENTIME made a positive start for his new yard when fourth at Punchestown, so he gets the nod over Natural Breeze, who arrives on the back of a solid effort at Downpatrick. Attitash is another one to consider.

  1. BIDENTIME (IRE)
  2. NATURAL BREEZE (IRE)
  3. ATTITASH (IRE)
