Verdict

FERNAO has progressed with each run to date and, having opened his account in likeable fashion at Listowel 44 days ago, he's taken to follow up from what looks a fair opening mark. Brazil is a big danger based on hurdling form and another solid showing from Kodiac Prince is expected.

  1. FERNAO (IRE)
  2. BRAZIL (IRE)
  3. KODIAC PRINCE (IRE)
