Verdict

Having run well from out of the handicap at this course a couple of months ago, PATS CHOICE is fancied to capitalise on this better opportunity. The Little Yank and Battle of Mirbat arrive in form and are regarded as serious dangers.

  1. PATS CHOICE (IRE)
  2. THE LITTLE YANK (IRE)
  3. BATTLE OF MIRBAT (IRE)
