Verdict

FEATURE THIS made an encouraging return from a lay-off when sixth in a big field at Leopardstown last time out, fading only late on, so is fancied to bag a third success of 2023 here. Alqabeela is still to register a victory but feared most after resuming with a promising eighth in the same contest. Patrick Street and Prince of Abington appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. FEATURE THIS (IRE)
  2. ALQABEELA (IRE)
  3. PATRICK STREET
