Verdict

Up-and-coming 3-y-os TAKE HEART and Genuine Article are put up against with the field, with marginal preference for the former on the back of his taking win at Naas a fortnight ago. Of the rest, Midgam should be all the better for his reappearance/stable debut and has been given a chance by the assessor.

  1. TAKE HEART (IRE)
  2. GENUINE ARTICLE
  3. MIGDAM (FR)
