Verdict

ZILEO reacted well to blinkers when second in a more competitive event than this at the Curragh last time and he's fancied to go one better if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Barometer and Viceregent look the chief threats.

  1. ZILEO
  2. BAROMETER (IRE)
  3. VICEREGENT
