Verdict

The one who appeals most is STORM MAHLER, who looked progressive during the spring and the form of his latest effort when third of 16 at Cork represents solid form in the context of this race. Ranger Billy has been in good form in recent months and looks sure to be thereabouts once more, while That's About Right stepped up on his maiden efforts when fourth on in a Limerick handicap and will also be a threat if able to build on that.

  1. STORM MAHLER (IRE)
  2. RANGER BILLY (IRE)
  3. THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT (IRE)
