Verdict

STOKE THE FIRE was only denied by a well treated rival (who followed up) at Down Royal last time and, with the scope for better still, he's a confident choice to go one better. Granville Street and Out On Friday are two of the numerous dangers.

  1. STOKE THE FIRE (IRE)
  2. GRANVILLE STREET (IRE)
  3. OUT ON FRIDAY (IRE)
