Verdict

Lots with chances. BARNACULLIA arrives on the up and is fancied to go one better than his recent Bellewstown second with the winner having gone in again. Rich Belief rates the main danger on the back of his good Killarney fourth with both Crassus and Curious Bride well in the mix too.

  1. BARNACULLIA (IRE)
  2. RICH BELIEF
  3. CRASSUS (IRE)
