Verdict

FIRING SQUAD produced a promising first effort when fourth at this course 22 days ago, coming from much further back than those who beat him, and he can learn from that experience to open his account. Miners Gamble shaped well on his second start and could be the main danger upped in trip, with Hand Jive completing the shortlist.

  1. FIRING SQUAD (IRE)
  2. MINERS GAMBLE (IRE)
  3. HAND JIVE
