Verdict

SAINT SAM cruised clear when landing a Grade 3 at Killarney 83 days ago and he's firmly expected to go in again seeing as his main rivals on form have a bit to prove. Both Andy Dufresne and Peregrine Run can make a race of it if back to their best, however.

  1. SAINT SAM (FR)
  2. ANDY DUFRESNE (IRE)
  3. PEREGRINE RUN (IRE)
