Verdict

It's worth giving another chance to RULE THE WIND, who has so far failed to build on the promise of his hurdles debut second at Tipperary in April but time is still on his side and he couldn't be in better hands. Bumper winner Arabian Diamond shaped well on his first run in this sphere at Galway and is likely to emerge as the main danger. That said, Musta Lovea Lovea was just touched off in a Fairyhouse handicap when last seen in January and will also be a threat if fully tuned-up.

  1. RULE THE WIND (IRE)
  2. ARABIAN DIAMOND (IRE)
  3. MUSTA LOVEA LOVEA (IRE)
