Verdict

This looks wide open and it could pay to side with in-form MOGWLI, who should prove well suited by the return to this 1m trip and can also boast a course win. Fellow course scorer Secret Magician can also have a say, with Arch Enemy and Indigo Five (who was first past the post when mistakenly running as stablemate Ano Manna at Killarney last Saturday) completing the shortlist.

  1. MOGWLI (IRE)
  2. SECRET MAGICIAN (IRE)
  3. ARCH ENEMY (IRE)
