Verdict

Despite being sent off at unflattering odds having displayed little in a bumper, QUARRY ROCCO offered plenty to work on when fourth on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. This trip should unlock more so he gets the tentative vote in an open race. Silver King is dangerous id reacting positively to cheekpieces, with Edge of My Seat also considered.

  1. QUARRY ROCCO (IRE)
  2. SILVER KING (IRE)
  3. EDGE OF MY SEAT (IRE)
