Verdict

GENDARME is given a chance to build on his eyecatching reappearance fourth at Limerick, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. John McConnell's recent Downpatrick runner-up The Grey Monty is second choice ahead of the consistent Dragon's Pass.

  1. GENDARME (IRE)
  2. THE GREY MONTY (FR)
  3. DRAGON'S PASS (IRE)
