Verdict

QUANTUM REALM shaped encouragingly over hurdles when fourth at Tipperary on reappearance and could be the answer back over fences off what looks a good mark. The progressive and unexposed Desertmore House is feared most ahead of hat-trick seeking Pakens Rock.

  1. QUANTUM REALM (IRE)
  2. DESERTMORE HOUSE (IRE)
  3. PAKENS ROCK (IRE)
