Verdict

DOUBLE MARTINI needs to be forgiven a below-par run last time but he had been shaping up quite well prior to that and might prove the answer to this tricky handicap. His stablemate Smaoineamh Sile ran well at Leopardstown last time and is second choice ahead of The Bog Bank and James Henry.

  1. DOUBLE MARTINI (IRE)
  2. SMAOINEAMH SILE
  3. THE BOG BANK (IRE)
