Verdict

Having shaped well in maidens at Naas and the Curragh, GRAND CITY HALL looks the way to go here with improvement likely now that he drops to the minimum trip. Indeed, he showed plenty of dash when third over 6f last time. Ashwiyaa found listed company too much last time but is a major player now back in calmer waters. Clonmacash is also respected on the strength of his close third over this C&D in June.

  1. GRAND CITY HALL (IRE)
  2. ASHWIYAA (IRE)
  3. CLONMACASH
