Verdict

The vote goes to ROYAL JUNIPER, who improved when opening his account over 2m at Wexford recently and shouldn't be fazed by this step back up in trip. Norwigi finally got off the mark in this sphere at Roscommon 17 days ago and is likely to emerge as the main danger, though Cahirdown Boy will have a fighting chance if on-song and Coole Arcade also enters calculations.

  1. ROYAL JUNIPER (IRE)
  2. NORWIGI (IRE)
  3. CAHIRDOWN BOY (IRE)
