Verdict

A huge field for this closing contest but preference is for NOTTURNO, who wasn't seen to best effect at Limerick last month and Noel Meade's charge is fancied to break his duck reunited with Colin Keane. Snowhaven was about to make her move when slipping up on the home bend at Gowran 6 weeks ago and she looks a major threat provided she's none the worse from that spill. Upepo and Ifitwasme are a couple of others worth considering.

  1. NOTTURNO (IRE)
  2. SNOWHAVEN (IRE)
  3. UPEPO (IRE)
