Verdict

Ultra-competitive but KILCRUIT looked an ideal type for this when scoring at the Punchestown Festival in impressive fashion, so earns the vote. Enniskerry and Hollow Games are unexposed chasers who surely have more to offer, while Fury Road is on a good mark on the pick of his form in Grade 1s.

  1. KILCRUIT (IRE)
  2. ENNISKERRY (IRE)
  3. HOLLOW GAMES (IRE)
